The person I will use, Glo Custom Paint, has  only painted one 10 and that is Russ's but he's done a ton of RV's. I'm in the  queue at $8,000. Based on the planes I've seen Grady paint, which is quite a  few, he really does excellent work.

Wayne,

  

 Is he priming for you also?  $8k seems high if  you've already primed and there is no paint removal like an older plane getting  a paint job.  Will you be disassembling and re-assembling the control  surfaces?  If yes, then it really seems high.

  

 I know he does good work though.

I deliver the plane to him with no primer and walk  away. He does all the disassembling and reassembling. I check around a little  bit and I think he has a fair price for the quality of work that he does. I know  of one 10 builder who paid $14,000 for his paint job, ouch. I think he's  charging around $6,000 for the RV6's and 8's.

  

 I just want someone to paint my plane that I know  does excellent work and that's Grady.

I painted my RV-8A -  paint alone cost $2500 (I did some hard colors).  $6000 for someone to  do everything sounds like a really good deal.

RV builders tend to bring a different conservative bent to pricing of final topcoats.  Tom Conner in Bend charges the Lancair guys upwards of $26,000 all the way above $34,000 to meet the definition of excellent work. He is more than 24 months backlogged. True, all composite skins require lots of correction and fill.  Thank goodness for 2024 and flush rivets.  The EPA rules and charges have pushed the chemicals into a pricing schedule which exceeds VNE.  If anyone has missed Scott Schmidt’s latest web post “Going to the Hangar”, you will see the new benchmark on RV-10 Topcoats.  My guess is that Ray and Scott chose to delay the unveiling until they can sweep Grand Champion next year at OSH.  

   

Our local guy is retiring cause he has gotten tired of the tremendous amount of prep required to take it from “drop off” to “excellent”.  He won’t use immigrant labor to complete the mundane tasks.  On a separate note, Tim Olson posted the most cost effective way to get to a great paintjob at the lowest cost by doing the right steps.  We have lots of choices.  And then there is Checkoway who will never finish from the primer/bare Alclad stage.  

   

Paint Envy anyone?

That is the reason why Grady O'Neal at GLO Custom  Paint is booked up through July of 2007.  I know because an RV-8 I am  helping finished up just booked his paint date and the earliest he could get  with Grady was July 2007!!!!

  

 If you want the best at a reasonable price you  really have to plan ahead.  I booked my paint date (currently in Grady's  paint booth) January of 2006.  Grady requires a 10% deposit to hold a paint  date.

  

 Pictures should be posted by next  week.

He's located in Roanoke, TX, which is just a little  bit north and west of the DFW airport.

  

 Here is a web address for Northwest Regional where  Grady is located.
