Paint shops in Atlanta area ?
Due to some peeling clear coar, slightly thinning base coat in a couple
of places, and some recent minor hail damage (with payment from insurance) it looks like we're due for a paint job on our Archer. Can anyone suggest any good shops (or ones to stay away from) in the Atlanta area? All windows were replaced with a recent interior refurbishment, so all we should need is basic paint, probably a couple of fairings, and some minor fiberglass touch-up.

Depends on what you mean by "area"... and also depends on what you consider "good". Some people are perfectly satisfied with paint jobs that others consider unacceptable. Anyway, I and my partners were satisfied with the job done by Grace Air at KCKI, near Florence, SC. Here's a good reference article about evaluating paint shops: http://www.avweb.com/news/maint/182829-1.html Dave |

I was thinking of staying within about 200 miles (or 3 hours driving time). I figure we'll have to make at least 3 trips, including two (drop-off and pick-up) that will require another aircraft or driving. We're not looking for either absolute lowest price or absolute highest quality, but rather a middle-of-the-road good quality for a reasonable price without a lot of "bells & whistles". Thanks for the pointer to the Avweb article, I'll take a look. Mike -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Paint shops in Atlanta area ?
We had our '75 Cardinal RG painted by Grace Air 2 1/2 years ago. I am
not real happy with the results. It took significatly longer than they had estimated. They did not replace all of the plastic stop buttons on the top of the flaps. And now we have more places where the paint is off than I think we should. The paint looks good, I just feel that they were just a little bit careless in their quality control. Next paint job, we will find a different shop. - Steve Mills N2679V Vicky @ PDK On Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:41:35 -0400, Dave Butler wrote: Mike wrote: Due to some peeling clear coar, slightly thinning base coat in a couple of places, and some recent minor hail damage (with payment from insurance) it looks like we're due for a paint job on our Archer.
