from Tims site
I used about 3 gallons of white, but I could have used a whole lot more
paint than I did. My goal was to paint the plane enough to hold me over for
a few years than get it redone, so 4-5 gallons may be more appropriate.

No, but I can tell you how much Sherwin Williams Jetglo and Acryglo I used.

For high end products (PPG multicolor base/clear coat), $4000 in material is a
good guess - a little less if you know what you are doing. The hangar paint booth
was 12'X26'x8' tall, 2x4 frame with plastic covering (wings and tail not
on the plane for paint).
I live near a PPG store so I bought paint as needed, but always made sure I had
enough for whatever section I was doing.
Bottom line - if you can find someone to paint your plane for under $12K, jump
at it. The RV-10 is a bear to paint. I did the RV-8A with the same base/clear
coat products but the shear size of the RV-10 made for many hours of sanding
and rework for me - a typical amateur painter.

Granted I'm no pro, but if someone is on a budget, I painted my whole plane
for under $1.5K, that included my paint gun and materials (sand paper). I do
not have a professional looking plane by ANY means, but it does the job of
protecting it. Because I painted in my garage, in California I was limited
to only a waterbased paint. I used Stewarts system with good enough success-
http://www.stewartsystems.aero/default.aspx. A good painter, like Don
McDonald made my recoated wing looks very nice, so a good painter can get a
nice job done with this paint. Spray painting is actually a lot of fun!
I did it myself and would do it again. Worse case, a professional will take
your job and repaint with less paint and make it look really good. An
example, a local plane had a terrible paint job and after 1 week at a good
shop it came back looking great, cost $4000K since all the prep involved was
sanding for 2 coats of paint.
If I can paint the plane in a garage , with no prior experience in spray
painting, anyone can do it.

The paint adherence is only as good as the surface preparation. The hardest
part of painting is the surface preparation. Once that is done, painting i
s fairly quick.
I painted my RV-4 and was very happy with it. Apparently Van's is too, beca
use here it is!
http://vansaircraft.com/public/rv4.htm
But for my RV-10, I wasn't going to touch it..... especially after all that f
iberglass work.... I knew how big of a job the -4 was and the -10 is even b
igger....
But, if painting your own plane is on your bucket list, this might be your o
nly opportunity!! :-)

I'll add to my previous email......
I spent about $3,700 on paint from a Sherwin Williams distributor.
$300 on materials like tape, paper, mek, plastic, etc.
The painter spent 99 hours and my wife and I probably put in another 30 hours or
so each assisting with the masking and tape. Most the time was consumed by
masking for the four colors
And the compound curves of the trim lines.

Thanks for the input. What I was actually doing was querying a couple of auto
shops near the airport to paint the pieces for me to final assemble. They were
asking for approximate square footage since RV10 meant nothing to them, but
a couple of them have done aircraft projects before.
In the end, I decided against the auto shop idea. I still might self paint for
the challenge, but for the time it would take me I can easily pick up extra trips
at work and be money and time ahead.
