Being new to "Commander land", who are the paint and interior shops that 

are thought of in high regard by Commander owners?  As I contemplate the 

purchase of a Commander, I'd like to speak with an experienced shop or two 

to get an idea of what interior refurbishment and paint would cost.



I realize you can pretty much spend as much as you want and repairs can be 

at "who knows what cost", but I'm really looking for "very nice but not 

extravagant" pricing to build a realistic financial model.



Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave;



I have a 560E, two years ago, I had it stripped, joints sealed, a few wing 

dents removed, new cowling screws and all the other things that go along 

with a nice paint job.  Then the quoted price was about $12,500 for the 

basic strip and paint, but the extras usually add a couple extra thousand 

dollars.  This was done in the Atlanta area.  Where do you live?

Hi Dave,



Premier Aviation in Tucson repainted my 681 last summer and their

process was to  strip, buff with ScotchBrite, acid etch, alodine,

primer, and paint with two base coats of JetGlo and then apply the color

striping. They also took care of some minor dents and replaced the

exterior hardware with stainless. The original quote was around $16K

(IIRC) but with the "extras" (like the seam sealing I asked them to do

after the original quote), the final price was just north of $20K.



The quality and durability is excellent. Donny, their painter, has been

painting planes for over thirty years. I would recommend Premier without

hesitation. 



Stan

I am about 12 months from interior/repaint- so I'm not taking that part of

the search too seriously yet....
