| Subject: | Cost of painting an RV-10 |
After 200 some hours flying I have decided it's time to paint my RV-10. I am based
at Cable Airport, Upland, CA (KCCB) and there is a paint shop on the field.
I asked them for a painting estimate and got back a price that seems kind of
steep to me. Id like to hear from the group about what you know about paint pricing.
I was hoping that the KCCB estimate would come in at a reasonable cost
so I could just go for the on-field shop without getting other bids. I may have
to get more bids now but I need to reassemble the airplane after the condition
inspection before I can show it off to other shops.
Here is the situation:
The airplane is unpainted except for the fin and rudder and the fiberglass.
The airplane needs a thorough degreasing on the bottom and cleaning outside.
I have filled and primed the fiberglass but there is still some work to get a really
professional look.
Im want a simple, one color paint job (off white) with a stripe and contrasting
color on the wing tips, H-stab tips, fin tip and wheel pants.
I have some overspray on the rear windows from my priming activities that needs
removing.
Here is the estimate:
Base price: $9800 (for Imron paint)
Fiberglass labor: $1690
Credit for reassembly by owner: $500
Total $10,990
Seems kind of pricy for what I want. What do you guys know about current paint
job prices, especially in Southern California. Having the airplane painted on
my field is attractive, disassembly and reassembly wise, but I would be willing
to pick a shop 500 to 800 miles away for a good price.

That sounds reasonable to me, actually maybe too reasonable. I spent twice that
for my new RV10 without any paint to be stripped off. Its a 5 foot paint job.
Get closer than that and its not that great.

I say that is a good, honest price IF they will do the necessary prep and glass
finish. Shoot fire, if I could find someone to prep the glass for paint at that
price Id write a check out as fast as I could. I recommend doing your due
diligence to verify they are doing prep work to your satisfaction.
I just painted my new RV-8 and the material alone cost me over $4000 (high end
PPG urethane base and clear coat). Im assuming the RV-10 in 18-24 months will
be double that - again just for material. Paint cost is going up faster than
Lycoming engine prices.

Thats what I was thinking too. I know people who paid 2.5x that much. Beautiful
jobjust lots of money. But to hand it to someone else, $10k is a pretty low
number.

Nick,
That actually seems like it's on the low side. The paint shop in Salinas
charges about twice that. They do an outstanding job and have a couple
Lindy winners as proof.
Originally I polished my wings and had Salinas paint the rest of the
plane. Afterward I decided to get the wings painted, and they wanted $9K
just for the wings. That was about 10 years ago. I had them done
elsewhere for a lot less, and I've regretted that decision ever since.
Like it or not, the paint job will define the airplane. Get the best one
you can afford!

That is a really good price for a paintjob even if its a simple scheme. The hard
part is prepping the surfaces for paint. Doing a multi-color scheme just adds
a couple of days and the cost of paint.
I would suggest getting some more quotes, not just for price but estimated time,
and from shops that have painted a -10 before. Some shops that havent, tend
to underestimate the work involved.
The cost of the SW Skyscapes paint and materials alone for my -10 was around that
price, in 2010.
I saw an RV-10 that got painted for close to $30K and that was before this crazy
market where they are now selling for $300K. Beautiful paint job though. But
probably only those who painted their own plane appreciate that kind of attention
to detail and lack of mistakes :))

Hi Nick,
The $11,000 seems reasonable. I painted my own plane in my garage before
bringing it to the airport. After all the material purchases, to include
Tyvek suites, H-F spray gun, PPE air supply, paint booth supplies and
erection, and paint prep materials, I had invested about $5,000. Put in
another $5,000 for paint, and 1,000 hours prep and paint time, the $11,000
seems very reasonable.

My RV-10 is at paint shop right now, in Kingman AZ. Not very different
from what you are describing. Even with 2K credit for disassembly and
reassembly, I expect the total to be around $18K. Local shop that I had
no success getting into would have been more. I know there are shops in
TX, AR and other places in midwest for less, but I think you have a heck
of a price for in CA.

I asked them for a painting estimate and got back a price that seems kind
of steep to me. Id like to hear from the group about what you know about paint
pricing. I was hoping that the KCCB estimate would come in at a reasonable cost
so I could just go for the on-field shop without getting other bids. I may
have to get more bids now but I need to reassemble the airplane after the condition
inspection before I can show it off to other shops.

I got my RV10 painted at T&P at Salinas, CA. It is white with 3 other colors
for trim. It cost me $14,000 and it was worth every penny. I receive nothin
g but compliments on how good it looks.
I remember seeing a 10 at my home field with a very patriotic paint scheme. I
was looking at it when the owner showed up. It was starting to peel after 2
years. The owner told me not to go to Falcon Field in Phoenix where he did.
Pair should last more than 20 years. Make sure you get a good job done. It w
ill be cheap in the long run.

I agree 100%. After all the work you put into building a great aircraft you d
on=99t want a lousy paint job. Really good work costs more. It is chea
per in the long run.

It=99s definitely worth finding someone who takes pride in their work a
nd is meticulous. My paint job was close to $22k, and I wish I would have sp
ent more and had it done at Evoke in Alabama. It would have been $8k more an
d knowing what I know now, I would have happily paid it.
My paint is less than a year old. I=99ve had the plane back 4 times fo
r touch ups. Here is the latest issue I had - this was from them painting a s
tripe the wrong color and then not prepping it properly to paint it the righ
t color.

Guys, I gotta tell ya, I love this thread!=C2- I've completely painted on
e RV-10, two and a half RV-8's, two and a half RV-12's,=C2- and all sorts
of repair jobs.=C2- =C2-I'm presently helping finish the build on my L
AST complete paint job on another RV-10.=C2- I'm very popular cuz I've be
en almost giving it away for friends ... then friends of friends, etc. and
have a waiting list.=C2- I can only paint disassembled planes (to fit the
m in my paint booth).
My favorite customers are those who have tried to prep/paint it themselves.
=C2- They are the only ones who really appreciate how labor intensive thi
s work is, and it's different from painting steel cars, and taping off for
stripes, and filling pinholes, not getting runs around rivets, getting meta
llic to lay right on different pieces,etc. etc.=C2- You know what I'm tal
king about, Tim.
And I repair plexi canopies.=C2- Please make sure someone knows what they
're doing before they "get primer off the rear windows"!
I've been told that to paint both RV-10 wings is about the same as painting
a medium size car - with no stripes.=C2- I haven't bothered to figure ou
t the surface area, but it sounds about right.=C2- I know one auto body s
hop that agreed to paint an RV-8 and afterwards said, "never again!"
I'm not going to add to the advice on cost and "you get what you pay for",
but I will say from a fiberglass finisher-painter's point of view that it k
inda bugs me when guys spend 8 or 9 years building a plane, have spent a to
n of money getting that part right, then when they get to me (the paint is
the first thing anyone other than a pilot looks at), they are saying, "is i
t going to cost THAT much, can I fly it next week?"
Later, - Lew

That seems like a really good price. Shops on the east coast would want
well north of 15K.
