As an aside, fresh paint does make a difference! I thought my paint wasn't that bad, but after flying it home
at 10,000 ft,after the paint job, I picked up and additional 3-4 knots true airspeed over my previous flight with the old paint. Mind you that speed mod was one
of the most expensive :D Here are the stats of my flight home at 10000 ft, airspeed indicator indicating 176 knots true at 65% power, fuel burn 15.9 gallons per hour, running 50 degrees rich of
peak.

Gary,

Please tell us more about your paint job on a different thread. I would like to here more. What was good, bad, what you would do different, etc.

Thanks,
