Just got my plane back from Jetcrafters in Safford, AZ. (Thanks to JJohnson for the referral.) They did an awesome job. Included complete strip and paint, filling defects and resealing all windows.

I figured but was not sure. I love my 1974 C182P with Robertson STOL. Great all around aircraft.
Mine needs some work...eyeing the airtex thread.

Very nice looking. Now the airplane will handle better, be 5 knots faster, and make better landings.  How much for the paint job?
