Good Southeast Paint Shop?

[Skywarrior]

Hello, all -

Need to install a replacement baggage door, then have its exterior painted to match its surroundings.

Anybody in the Atlanta area who can do both the install and the repaint without having to send the plane to someone else to finish the job?

Joe at Hawk Aircraft Painting down here in Tampa does good work and there's an A&P near his shop who has done work on Mooneys.

bag door blow open on takeoff?

Yep.

since it's a relatively small part, could a local auto body shop match the paint for you before it's installed?

 

edit-never mind.  I started thinking and they'd need your plane for the paint match.

There is a paint shop in Carrollton, Ga that should be able to do it.  KCTJ.

Some of the auto parts stores like O'Reilly can come out to the airport with some sort of device that can read your paint.  They sell a paint called Imron or something like that and it is supposedly pretty good, I think it is a polyurethane.  There is a company here in Enid that works on Cessna Caravans that I talked to and said it works nicely.  I can ask them.  Its pretty expensive and you have to get an activator and thinner as well.   I am looking at having the front of my cowl and some parts of my wings touched up and thats what they recommended.  Just a thought....good luck.

I can also recommend Joe at Hawk Aircraft Painting.  He did my E model 6 years ago and she's holding up really well.  He's a really good guy, and has very reasonable pricing.  http://www.hawkaircraftpainting.com/
