Now I know I just use some scotch on the laminate, fill the laminate with boat epoxy primer and sand it even, fill it a second time , sand it 400 and the enamel the whole bird with some PU enamel something….will be far. Iced and cheaper…thanks for showing….

You can see the orange peel finish on the spinner! Well, maybe it has shark skin effect and reduces drag…who knows…and you need the name on it in red for completions the design Color cheme….

Came across your video and gotta say you are justified in your disappointment. I painted my cj7 in my garage and did a world better job than that. I'm not a painter and neither is this guy. Can't believe the flaws he made and let leave his shop. Sorry to see this.

Wow that is worse than I thought. I thought you would be showing some nitpicking issues that probably wouldn’t show up on camera. That is definitely not the case. I could do a better job with rattle cans from Walmart. And I am not a professional painter. Sorry that happened to such a beautiful plane.

Oh gosh, that’s heartbreaking! Just knowing all the efforts (not to mention the $$$) you put in to build the aircraft. 😢 I’m so sorry. I’d be livid if not enraged. I mean it’s hard to watch you point out the places. I know me making this comment doesn’t help you with the issue but I hope you find some comfort in all these comments that there is some empathy. Good Lord - the data plate too!

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay

If you have to paint that again will it be a lot slower and heavier than it was before? If so you might have to strip all the paint off and redo it again that man should give you a discount or your money back. I’m glad you called him out because now I know who not to go to for a paint job.

Hope you got your money back. Incredible that he calls himself a painter.

I'd be looking for some reviews and recommendations before painting something as expensive and complex as an airplane

What did this cost? If one gets a $8000 quote, this might be expected, even as bad as it is. And it is really bad - -it will have to be stripped and completely repainted. Buyer beware in paint shops. There is a huge amount of labor in a good paint job.

How much did he charge?.....

Holy paint pops

How much did you pay for this paint job?

Not terrible … revolting

Holy shit this is absolutely absurd

wow not so good BUT YOU OWN A BEATIFUL (from afar) RV-8 you lucky sh*t I feel so sorry for you

holy crap!!! orange peel galore.

You get what you paid for

Did you ever get your paint work resolved?

I’d be wanting my money back. That’s unacceptable.

It will look great at 30,000

Looks like Stevie wonder painted it.. ☹

This makes me sick and is somewhat of a fear I have of when I take my bird to get painted. Everyone is such a hack nowadays. I'm sorry you had to endure this.

Hey I just came across this video. Sorry to hear about that but I was wondering if you ever got it fixed?

I’d love to strip this and re do it for you ! I’m in Florida and have references and hangar.

It gives me anxiety just watching the video. He basically stripped the plane and didn't chase with a good DA to clean it up, ,he failed to give the surface a good wash and brush (excessive Dawn detergent would have been great here), it appears that he used a CHEAP gun with improperly mixed paint, and he probably paint the surface in direct sunlight. Gosh, this is a horrible paint job even by a NOVICE or DIYer with a cheap Harbor Freight gun. I hope you got all your money back from him and the cost of stripping it back down to bare metal.

I hope you didn’t pay him. That guy is NOT a painter.

What is that amazing metallic blue color!

Why did you accept it?

Hello from Australia. Mate i feel sorry for you and i feel your anger, such a bad job. Where are you with this now, has it been respayed and have you got your money back. cheers.

I just found out he ruined the ruddervators on my Bonanza. Just out of curiosity what are you going to do or what have you done?

I'll bet he was indignant after you came down "before he was done", and either slap-dashed it in anger or gave it to some kid for practice. You got the "FU Special". Given the absolute lack of care, I wouldn't bother trying to remedy this with cutting and polishing. No doubt the surface prep and priming was as craptacular as the painting and will be coming off in sheets before too long.

It’s honestly not that bad, you would be surprised the stuff you can fix with a buffer, at least get ride if most of the orange peel and polish up the dry spots, as far as the stuff in the paint, and the cracks. That will need a respray

OMG!!! 😫

My 8 paint is 22 years old and looks immaculate now I’ve seen that flying disaster! Hope you get some sort of restitution!

What PN hinge is that? The extruded hinge from spruce seem to all have the small .090 pin, yours look like they take the larger pin.

Nice wing root and gear intersection fairing. You make that?

This isn’t even a good amateur paint job.

Nice

Wow. I am just speechless. This is unbelievable. I hope you're able to get it fixed! It will be beautiful.

The paint will literally fall off. Was he a professional automotive or aircraft painter? Did you ask to see his work prior to making a service contract?

Hi, I'm a professional painter and worked on mainly B747 and B737 for 15 years. All of this is common with dodgy painters. I feel so bad for you I had to type something. Just to add to what you have already stated, with all those issues I guarantee the whole aircraft will have poor paint adhesion. I wish you all the best with the fix and well done on calling out Jose who doesn't deserve anyone's work until he changes his ways.

Love the fastback. I would sue, and getting it away from him is the right thing to do. Good news is can be fixed, strip it, start over.

Why do you accepted the aircraft , you should made him fixed it , BTW the blue lines on top of the wing called tiger stripe , how much do you pay him

GLO!!!

Wow! That is heartbreaking. This is my worst fear, and the reason I am paying top dollar to take my RV7 to Evoke. No question one of the best shops in the country. So sorry this happened to you.

How much did he want to charge you for this paint job? Did you pay him?

So sorry to see that happen to something you care about.

This is heartbreaking, all the work put into building such a great plane and to have its appearance ruined by this poor paint job. But I do have a question: What was the quote for the paint job and how did that compare to other paint shops which produce top quality results?

He left starbucks job after one week and decided he was going to be a painter because he saw his mom painting nails... WTF! unbelievable!
