So how does a paint job cause a crash exactly? AND SHOW YOUR WORK!

Well they could have flutter. That is why you must be licensed to
paint an aircraft. How much paint you put on the leading and trailing
1/2s of a flight control can be life or death. I read somewhere that
the leading cause of death of test pilots testing out homebuilts is
flutter.


The paint thing is correct, but the homebuilt thing probably isn't.
I've been in the EAA for a looooong time and I can only think of a handfull
of accidents caused by flutter.
More often is something as pedestrian as a fuel plumbing problem or control
jam.
