I like that because its not the usual curly lines. Also If 52q ever gets painted, I don't want white as a colour on the plane. Id rather want silver metallic.

The four trim colors are all metallic.Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk
jetdriven Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I hate to be a Debbie downer here but silver or pearl coat white is the last base I would ever use on an airplane. For one thing it depends on the painter it depends on the day but silver doesn’t always come out of the gun onto the airplane and looks the same. I’ve seen banding and I’ve seen stripes on silver airplanes when the painter would spray One Direction with the gun leading, and with the gun perpendicular or lagging on the opposite pass and this actually makes it look different. And once it is sprayed, You own it. Also inspection covers get painted off the airplane and those won’t match either. And then god help you if you ever scratch it or need to touch up something because it is not going to be anywhere near. Edited October 19, 2018 by jetdriven
Niko182 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 My 2 favorite paint jobs ive seen so far are these 2. Surprisingly which have curly lines but what ever.
MIm20c Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 It seems like the prices for paint are increasing rapidly. 17-24 for a long body from the multiple shops I checked with. I hope those quotes do not turn into 25-30 over the next few years. That being said making sure one uses a top quality shop is extremely important. I’ve noticed a lot of planes looking pretty sad after 5 years traveling at Mooney speed.
jetdriven Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 Is Hawk quoting thart for a Mooney long body? Because last I heard he is getting mid 10's for a Mooney M20J, and I have a hard time thinking that an extra 8" of fuselage nearly doubles the price.

ArtVandelay Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Doesn’t cost have more to do with complexity of the job: # colors, stripes, etc? As oppose to a little extra fuselage length.

Id rather want silver metallic. dont quote me, get the correct numbers from Joe (either the owner of this super fast J or the owner of Hawk, pick your Joe) but I think it was about 10 AMU's.
Comet Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Posted October 20, 2018 Sorry for the delay in responding; I have such trouble with these social media things (really, I’m not that old!). I haven’t decided on a scheme yet...I’d like something “unique”...but I’m not really artistic, so I’m not sure how i’ll Pull it off; maybe a graphical depiction of schrodringers equation? Lots of beautiful paint on the replies; if I can get something half that nice, I’d be happy!
carusoam Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Dsp, Have you gone to the paint schemers website...? They turn your thoughts into full blown art... Essentially they found a way to turn non-artist customers into happy paint job owners... Best regards, -a-
jetdriven Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Plane schemers is a rip-off off Scheme Designers. Their airplane drawings don’t match the size of the airplane which makes it interesting when they go to tape it up.
carusoam Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Let’s get the right one... https://www.schemedesigners.com/samples/ Be sure to click on singles and retractable and Mooney.... Let me know if I missed it... Best regards, -a-
