Well it has taken 6 months and 396 hours, but the paint job is done! Well actually not totally done, as I still have the wing root fairings and access panels to go. It was a good learning experience, but not sure I would do it again in the tight space I had to paint.... now if I had a hanger to paint in, I would do it again.

Great job, nice design! I know what you mean about doing it again

Congratulations Brian and Brandi on both counts! One good thing is that, once you have a kid, the parents should be able to figure out that you'll only have two...unless you get another/bigger plane Maybe they'll stop pestering.

I can't wait to see the paint job. Looks like a nontraditional scheme - love to see some creativity.

The way Brandi informed Brian of the addition is priceless. Very bright idea. Since the plane is "baby" blue, does that mean it is a boy?

Congrats on the addition and the plane paint looks outstanding. Please keep us posted.

Looks awesome. I like the paint scheme.

Bill, great paint job and you did this in only 396 hours? You are fast or you did not include fiberglass prep and prime. Painting is a real chore and I admire anyone that completes the task. It took us 613 hours to paint the tiger. My wife told me to just paint it white with a blue stripe and some days I wished I had listened to her. Your paint job is outstanding. I look forwad to seeing it all put together.
Congratulations.

Mine took 99 hours to prep, prime, and paint. I paid the painter by the hour, so that is how I can remember that number. My family also helped him tape and mask (basically all the grunt work)

All the fiberglass prep was done by my wife and I before we took the plane to the painter. He only dealt with the few pinholes that we missed. I will also comment that my wife and I spent a good deal of last summer (2012) working on the fiberglass. That would most likely put us well above 500 hours, but I would have to check mykitlog logs.

Wow, love it! Looks like my 9a that grew up ! Congrats!

The 400 hrs includes all the fiberglass work I did while painting. Some on the doors and top was done as I was doing them. Possibly as much as 50 hrs. Probably will end up right near 500 by the time I do access panels and other incidentals that I have left.

Does look like your grown up 9, but I did sweep the blue more on the wings.
(evidently never took a picture with the tip and tank on) Blue goes all the way to the wing root on the fuel tank.
