Stripping and Painting

[jchronic]

Dave -

Once again, very sincere thanks for taking the time to provide this detailed followup info. I'm edging toward taking on the job myself. Although I realize there are distinct differences, as I noted I have a lot of experience with nasty preparation steps and materials and poly paints redoing boats. And since I mainly use the airplane for marine survey work from January through mid-June (a 'hobby job') and am otherwise retired, I have plenty of time.

Plus I have a great A&P/IA who let's me do most the work resulting from my annuals, and keeps me on the straight and narrow safety and regulatory-wise.
If I take the plunge, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again-
Joe (aka Capt Ahab)
