This paint is a joint effort between myself and Fireball6 who is working on the interior.

Theres a certain excitement; a sense of adventure, wondering when ( not if ) the wings will fall off.. :;lol:; its looking great.

Nice paint! It reminds me of this great scene from the movie "Fandango". Think this was a C-182 though. If you read the credits at the end of that movie, you learn that the Confederate Air Force did the flying.

[trucker17]

Yeah.I still have a few more things to add to it yet.....

From the title I thought someone was talking about another reality TV show....nice repaint though.

Talk about airplane abuse :isadizzy: But it does look like fun and a dirt cheap rental, literally.

I hate to put a damper on proceedings but after 40+ years of working with or being around metals I have yet to see orange 'rust' on alumin(i)um! It just doesn't happen.

You could have green or yellow showing for the zinc chromate primer or grey/white for the oxidized alumin(i)um but you would only ever see orange on iron or steel.

Looks more like the 172's I have flown ! Mike

Yeah I know....Like I said I still have a few thing to do to it......Addressing the rust is part of that.....
