Back home from paint shop

Got back on Thursday from Ormond Aircraft.  Very happy with the paint scheme.   I still have to install the fairings.  I plan to pull the interior, clean up the inside and fully install my interior from Classic Aero, then install fairings, drain fuel tanks and re-do weight and balance. 

Paint getting very close.

Hope to pick her up this week.

Paint Shop Visit / Update

I visited the paint shop today.  First contrast color which will cover the entire bottom of the airplane and parts of the HS/VS/Rudder and Elevators and the N-numbers is on.   Very happy so far with paint.

Paint Layout taking shape

Mark from the paint shop is staying in close touch - sends me photos daily.  These guys are great to work with so far.

In the paint shop

Last week I finally got N14VB to the paint shop.  I chose Ormond Aircraft in Ormond Beach, FL.  Close to where I live and recommended by several folks I know including one RV on my field and a local flight school (Holladay Aviation at KCRG) which has several aircraft painted by them.

Surface prep - acid wash/alodine/scuff and high-build primer on fiberglass part:
