I can't access the first part of this thread, so I'll just jump in and hope
the information is useful....

The previous owner of my airplane (1969 C-172 K) had it painted by Dove
Aviation in Darlington, SC in April of 2000. They seem to have done a good
job with it. The plane was chemically stripped and then painted with Jet
Glo according to log book entry.

Stripping, Base, and Two Colors appears to have been $5400 at the time.

Mena is ok. They are about the lowest priced also.

You need to be very specific about what you want - go there with photos
and
tell them the type of paint and so on - don't assume anything.

The other names I haven't dealt with.
