I am building an RV-4 in my home shop. I am a few months away from completion of the wings and fuselage.
Question: Should I paint, then do the final assembly and flight check or do the final assembly, fly it, then paint.
The big difference is the cost to paint. My friend runs a local auto paint shop (and has painted several airplanes) will paint it for $6-7 K. The local airport paint shop quoted $20-25K.
Thanks in advance
