KLRDMD Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) It isn't a Mooney but I think it is gorgeous. I just got my S35 Bonanza back from paint. It was on time and on budget. Jet Crafters in Safford, AZ (KSAD) did it.http://jetcrafters.com I'm happy. Photos added below. Edited August 12, 2019 by KLRDMD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous paint looked good from 25 ft but really needed to be redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. I think so. I bought this in January and immediately swapped out the Garmin 430W for an Avidyne 440 and swapped out the Garmin 340 audio panel for a PSE 450B. Then at the annual in May had air conditioning installed. Now paint. In October I have the two panel Aspen MAX scheduled to go in with a new panel fabricated and removing all backup instruments and the vacuum system. I think I'll end up keeping this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had mine painted red where his is blue. The same shop did the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Congrats on the paint, Ken! I thought for a moment... Jet Crafters... hmmm... must have gone turbine after all... Now, committing to a long term airplane... that was really unexpected! Thanks for sharing the details... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
