Total material cost for my 10 was $3700 (three color PPG base/clear coat
high end metallic). As I'm an amateur painter, about $400 of that was
"redo" cash. The $3700 included all paint accessories such as fine line
tape, buffing compounds and masking. Painting was done in a homemade paint
booth in the hangar (2x4 frame and plastic with a couple of large exhaust
fans). I'd guess you could do a traditional single stage paint job with a
couple of stripes for well under $2500, including primer.
Having someone to help who knows how to paint would have been wonderful. I
painted my 8A myself and figured the 10 would be about the same. I was
wrong. The 10 is a lot harder. Looking back, if I could find someone to do
a nice job for under $12K I'd jump at it. I'd guess it would be hard
finding someone other than a 10 or Lancair builder who really knows how to
do the fiberglass prep work on a 10.

Lew,
I think that the current rate for unpainted and more importantly,
un-prepared RVs seems to be $7K at the low end and $12K at the high end. I
am planning on painting my self with the help of my buddy who owns a body
shop and paint booth a few miles from my home. I expect the paint to cost
at least $2500 to $3500.

Hey Guys,
Let me try a direct question: How much would you expect to pay someone to
take the raw fiberglass (canopy, cowl, doors, pants, fairings, wingtips),
fit it (and I mean mount the canopy, install windows with Weldon/glass in
edges, assemble/fit the doors,fit the cowl with hinge pins/sky bolts, etc.,
align the pants to air flow, etc.) seal all the pinholes, prime it; prime
all the aluminum exterior surfaces (wings, control surfaces, vert/horiz
stab, fuse), final paint tri color(either Imron, acrylic enamel, or
urethane -- no clear coat)?
I've done this now for an RV-10 and an RV-8A for much less than $7K (all
materials/paint included).
It takes about 230 hrs. So far I've done it for friends and love the
challenge of it, but now I'm getting referrals and have to re-think this.
Any educated guesses would be appreciated. I have an idea what my time is
worth, but was curious what the professionals would charge, or what folks
would be willing to pay.
Later, - Lew

If you can do all this in 230 hours, you are truly a magician. I know I
took at least twice that long.

I imagine most professional shops would be charging $75 to $85 per
hour at a minimum. You could be pushing $20K at that rate. That would
not be out of line for doing all that work, IMHO.

I have an 80% built tailcone for sale. I reduced my asking price to
$2,500 or make me an offer. This is a great jump start. The horizontal
stabilizer and elevators are complete, the vertical fin and rudder are
finished. I am located in Florida and would prefer someone that is able to
pick up the project. A few images are available at the link below. Contact
info below. - Steve
