OK, It's not a Beech, but I thought my BT friends might like to see the A*'s new paint. A friend flew Sweetie and me to Russellville, KY, yesterday in the Skylane to pick up the A*. I had multiple schemes designed, but in the end, went with the simple. The pic is from my phone and doesn't show the colors very well, metallic black and metallic platinum. I'll take a better picture later and post.
I'm very pleased with the quality of the work.

Comment on pix, "Sweetie after breakfast at Waffle House." You went flying after bfast at Waffle House, you're a brave man.  Seriously I like the solid tail. Glad you're pleased with the work after your avionics debacle.

Jim did my Skylane last year and we had an issue with a bad batch of paint. Jim took the airplane back and redid it to my satisfaction. The A*, when we stripped it down had numerous issues from maintenance, ice damage, etc. Jim spent LOTS of time really finishing those out and the finished product looks good no matter how close you look. The extra work took the job about $4,500 over quote, but that price was more than fair. He took at least 50 pics of the process and gave me a zip file of them in great detail. The original quote was $18,500, so with the extra work it came to $23,000 not including the new cam locks and new carpet. Jgreen
