RV-9A...wheel pants have all taken a beating over the years from one or two bad grass fields and a couple of flat tires on landing. Stress cracks etc at some of the edges. No missing fiberglass.
We have a great body shop in the area, and because this is high-end lake country, they do a huge amount of major fiberglass repair on boats. That said...boats are not airplanes and they're a little concerned about working on airplane components. My goal would be to drop them off, have them do the fiberglass work, then repaint, and we're good to go. However, I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off sending them off to someone with substantial experience in wheel pants repair. I can arrange the painting, but I don't really have the time to do the job myself right now.
Anyone here know of any companies, services, or experienced builders that does this kind of wheel pants restoration work?
