I was curious how much I should plan for paint costs. My plan would be for me to do most the glass work, but to hire out the prime/painting. I'm planning a 3 color scheme - white/blue/silver. Thanks

Mike,
The prices for paint really vary all over the landscape. I've seen lows around $6500 to upwards of $15000 depending on how ready to paint the bird is and what kind of paint you use. I chose to do it myself as it was something I have always wanted to master. I used poly urethane (basically Imron) and the paint costs alone have been about $5000. It's taken six months of part time work. Using auto type paint would be cheaper as my friend has done his -7 for about $2800 not including the labor to shoot it. Another had his 182 repainted and they charged $6700 but it looks a bit sketchy. Dan

My paint cost over $4000, but I had lots of colors. I don't see how you could do it for less than $1500...
Or are you talking about the painter?

Mike, you probably would get better info if you provide your location. Kracon, in Lincoln Calif, is one of the best deals out there. I had my 10 painted there for under 8k with some fiberglass work. Since then (8-2009) there has been at least 4 other RV's done there. Glo Custom, in the Ft. Worth area, is really busy, and a 10 will cost between 10k and12k.

I was referring to commercial paint jobs. paint only is gonna cost about $2000 to $5000. This depends heavily on the type of paint.

location is important. AZ paint shops wanted 9500-12000. Mine was painted at Mena AR . Three paint shops on the field. Crider Goodner did mine. Price for Matterhorn White with Maroon trim (forgot the paint brand) was $4500. I spent about $1500 extra on the trip there and VFR (visiting friends and relatives. rental car and food for kids and grandkids for 2 weeks while it was painted. Figure about $6000.

I also had mine painted in Mena AR. The end result is a very good paint job for $8,500 BUT took about 6 months to complete. 6 months where I was paying flight insurance, hangar etc… And that is only the beginning of the story. I will be painting my 8A a little closer to home next time where I can review the progress and kick someone’s empennage if need be.

I HAD MY Cardinal painted at Texas Aero Color in Brady Texas. Alan does a lot of corporate and war birds and does beautiful work. He also did the Saratoga I fly. He is usually dead on perfect in 4 weeks but us very good about communicating where the project is .
So I will be taking my RV-10 to him for paint. He has painted several 10’s.

I had my RV6 painted at Renue Aircraft in Cleveland Oklahoma http://www.renueaircraft.com/index.html. Pics attached ( hopefully they stay attached). You need to have the fiberglass done, but they fill the pin holes. When I dropped it off, I took off the gear leg fairings, wheel pants, and emp fairing, since I wanted them painted off the plane. I put them back on when I picked it up. Mine was $5500 and took 3-weeks. They paint a lot of production aircraft and have done several RVs.
Cleveland is located about 35 miles west of Tulsa OK.
