what kind of quotes  and recommendations have 10 builders for aircraft paint? My plans are a base  color of Jetglo matterhorn white and a trim color of Acryglo deep marroon.  Design will be basic. I am located AZ so places east of the Mississippi don't  compute. Any recommendations for western US.

The last I heard Glo Custom Paint, Grady, on  52F in TX is charging $10,000.

The 10 is a different animal than the two seaters.  The large fiberglass cockpit with its doors and windows makes it diffucult to get a quote without seeing the airplane and discussing what extra fit and prep is desired or required for a nice finished plane.  The painter who did 805HL (Top Gun Refinishers) was on our base airport (Aurora, Nebraska) and we worked a deal where we would do the finish work and they would stripe and paint the aircraft.  They also gave us advice on what still needed to be done for a good result.  We thought it was ready to paint when we took it the first time and they pointed out some areas where we could improve like pinholes, more uniform curves, juncture of fiberglass on the fuselage and elevators, etc.  After a month and a half of corrections and improvements we painted the plane.  So depending on how prepared the plane is for painting and how much of the finishing you want the shop to do and to what finished state you expect the result to be, the price can vary quite a bit.  I would definately suggest you talk to a paint shop who has expirence with RV's and go over all of the above after they have looked at the plane before price is discussed.  I believe this area is much overlooked on our RV's.  To the non-builder their impression of the airplane is governed mostly by the paint job and the interior.  It takes another builder to really see the quality or lack of it beyond these two items.

I was quoted ( over the phone) 7K-9K by Kracon in Lincoln, CA

They are a respected shop, but it was sight unseen, and a few details in the quote showed that they were unfamiliar with the RV10.

Quote required removal and reinstall of control surfaces

As it should. Control surfaces should be painted off the plane and re-balanced before install. Paint does change the balance.

I got my RV10 painted at Texas Aerocolor (www.texasaerocolor.com) in Brady, TX.  They did a great job, he has painted 3 RV10s. I paided $8,500 plus $600 for some fiberglass work around the windows.

Our shop will paint it for $5,500 including all final prep work using  

Sikkens paint, but you will have to fly or ship it to Ecuador for that.

Dave,

 Attached are a couple of pictures of my RV-10 (N410MR) that Alan painted at Texas Aerocolor.  The first photo was taken in Baja at Punta Chivato.  A big plus for me was that Alan did all the fiberglass finishing.

Can't find the invoice but pretty sure it was in the $8,500 - $9,000 range.

Mark,  

            Your plane looks beautiful.  

I probably state the obvious here but one cannot tell the actually quality of a paint job by a photograph. A close up inspection for drips, runs, orange peel, thin & heavy spots etc… is required. Furthermore a quality paint job may not be apparent for years when one plane starts to yellow or peal while another looks showroom.   

A friend of mine had his 7A painted by a well respected hot rod painter. Looked amazing. After he sold the plane the new owner damaged the aircraft and needed to repaint a wing. The new painter told the new owner that the original paint came off with the tape used to mask the area. Not good! There was obviously an adhesion issue with the original paint job. It seems to me that sticking with a quality aircraft painter and known paints & processes may be the best solution for a long term quality paint job. I would sure hat to spend $9K and have to spend another $9K 4 years later. Or worse yet, fly around with a crappy looking -10.
