I won't knock another man's wife or airplane.

I think it looks great, and I'm glad you're happy with it!

And that's all that matters

No I didn’t pay 15.5. I paid a little over 9

The blue color is cobalt blue the same as comes on corvettes

[bonal]

I'd like to see more pics. Love the blue as for the accent stripes they kind of give it a nice abstract tension and a little different than the same as everyone else's curved graphics.

[Planegary]

Thanks. I tried to make it simple and classy when I put the scheme together. I will get more photos when I get it back out of the hanger but am about to head out to work so I will be gone for several days but will post as soon as I take pics

@Planegary can post or send in a pm the paint shops info, I have a 172 that's in need of painting

Thanks @Planegary

Ok am home and caught up on chores and so here are a few photos of my plane 

[Danb]

It’s a beauty

[ChrisV]

I like it.  I really wanna see pics in flight.

[Planegary]

Will do. I don’t think the iPhone camera does the blue justice. As soon as the vacuum pump is replaced and I get home from NEXT tour photos will be posted... if I can find someone quick enough to keep up with me. :-)

For 15 grand you were robbed.  For 9 grand that's a gorgeous Mooney.  Congrats.

[chriscalandro]

I'd pay 9k for that. Like I said before, the original child's drawing wasn't a great representation. 

 

Hell, my Mooney desperately needs paint. I might just do a simple STRAIGHT LINE design and let him do it. 

[Planegary]

He does nice work and if you want more complex you order the mask and hand it to humor tell him to add a mask to the paint job price

Your airplane is always going to be very recognizable to folks here.   That's something.   It's got a good shine to it. 

[Planegary]

Thank you. Now to get out and meet start meeting everybody

If you repaint the plane do you have to go to the larger N numbers?

[RobertGary1]

“On an aircraft displaying 2-inch marks before November 1, 1981, and on aircraft manufactured between November 2, 1981, and January 1, 1983, you may display those marks until the aircraft is repainted or the marks are repainted, restored, or changed. Once the aircraft is repainted or the marks are repainted, restored, or changed, the N-number is required to be 12 inches high.”

I really like the blue.  It is beautiful.  I am picking up what Byron is laying down on the side accents.  Not my thing, but NOT my plane.  Compared to my ‘66 original paint?  You look marvelous!  Enjoy.

[MATTS875]

I like the colors. I think you got a great deal and your happy. That’s all that matters. Enjoy

Price matters.

$9K for that is a smokin' good deal

[kortopates]

But it wasn’t 9K!

But it wasn’t 9K!

Executive summary:

Mesa quoted Cody $15,500. He never said his paint job cost was until later, he said he paid a little over $9000.

Yes, I agree as it looks now, but I think a waiting period is necessary to fully judge a paint job.  How does it look after 5 plus years.  If it lasts then yes its a great deal.
