    John Stahr Paint Job

    Artist and painter John Stahr, as featured in this months Sport Aviation magazine, is in the middle of doing a marathon paint job on my RV-9A. If you would like to see a master craftsman's work in progress, I have posted pictures on the below link. It looks like it will be a 8 day job, and I am posting the new pictures every day. Thanks for looking!

    Thanks for posting and allowing us to see the whole labour intensive process. Looking forward to seeing your final masterpiece. And if I may inquire, I think we'd all like to know about your cost for such a master craftsman.

    Keep in mind materials alone are about 2K. And at the risk of sounding like a smart a**, it cost more than $100, less than my panel, and about half of what I think it is worth. More pictures to follow.

    Personally not sure I like the colors.................. I LOVE THEM haha
    What a gorgeous design and paint job, afraid I'd find little time to fly with spending most of it just looking at that incredible job.

    You gotta be one happy camper.
