Im redoing my firestar. Watched lots of YouTube with people doing the covering, looked just as easy as anything else and you dont have to spend the time to paint and seal. Its all-in-one. That comes at a price, literally. They quoted me 3X the price for materials that I got from Stewart systems. They claim for comparison, after you buy the spray booth, compressor, spray guns, etc, youll be close. Not sure that is even very accurate, but even if it was, at the end Id have the spray booth, compressor, and spray gun and a finished plane. Im ok with not having some fancy paint job, so their color selection was fine with me. Id love the weight reduction too which is the main reason I wanted to go that way... as well as not having to spray my plane 8 times! And Im retire and still think my time is pretty valuable (my wife disagrees). I would so use oratex if I had the money to spend but I cant get over the fact thats its 3X more expensive. My time isnt worth that. Ill have to spray my plane. Of course its an easy call since I have the spray equipment.
