Letters: April 2012

I greatly appreciate your informative article about aircraft paint shops. (See September 2011 Aviation Consumer.) It was informative and contemporary. Currently, I am doing a complete refurbishing on a 1978 Cherokee Six that I just purchased. So, I read and reread your article with interest. I do have one criticism. Aviation Consumer is my favorite monthly magazine. I love reading it since you provide the uneducated, like me, with facts, statistics and hardcore data. This helps with making a purchase decision. My only criticism of your article is that it would have been better from my perspective if you would have provided a checklist of what an aircraft paint project should include. This information would help me pick the right facility and ensure a complete job.
