. I got a quote from one of the Mena companies for a "sand and paint" same colors and same paint scheme for about $3,200 I believe. Don
I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in Calif. a QUALITY paint job will run between $8K-$10K for a Cessna 150, and that's doing it correctly- total strip, acid wash, alodine, epoxy primer and then the color coats. This price usually includes the fiberglass/plastic parts repair work( cracks, etc.) i.e. wheel pants, wing tips,and so on. Some shops will suggest doing a windshield R&R if needed to save marring the paint later when the retaining strip is removed. Two shops I'm looking at have about a year or so waiting list, and I've seen many examples of their finished work. BEAUTIFUL!
$3200 for a "scratch & shoot"? Well, you get what you pay for.
