The Job is Done!
I used Flying Kolors at Riverside, KRAL. They are close to my home base and when I went to the shop I made a good connection with owner Steve and Tech Dan. They are very knowledgeable about airplanes and excellent painters.
I couldn't be happier with the job. Not everyone will be as casual as my partner and I, but when we left the shop, we had only a general agreement on the exact colors and the design, Steve used his judgement and some trial and error and the job turned out beautiful. These guys give a lot of attention to detail and know what looks good on the finished product. As I was leaving, Steve told me, "if you scratch it bring it back so I can fix it, it's your plane but I own the paint job."
Price was not cheap, but not expensive either, I thought it was very fair.
I highly recommend them, I'm very pleased with the result!
