How much will it cost to paint it? any ideas in Florida?

In the Southeastern US, plan on $5000 to $7500 for a decent three color paint scheme on a 150. That would include stripping and other common prep work. Most paint shops will do, for an additional fee, repairs such as windshield installations, that are best done after stripping and before painting. This should include control surface balance checks too. On a '67, ailerons, elevators and rudder are balanced.

If you have surface corrosion in places (not uncommon on a Flordia bird) than plan on a little extra $$$ to cover that.

If you are planning on painting it, DO NOT attempt to do any interior corrosion spray (wings, tail, tailcone, etc.) until after the paint job is done and cured for six months or so.
