Time for paint

Dropped off the Bone yesterday, and ready to begin my paint saga. In the end I went with TNP Aero out at Salinas CA. I was going to go with Arizona aeropainting since Don Copeland did such a nice job on my Baron, but after 2 years on the wait list I gave up.  Also it will be nice to have the shop close by should it need any touch up work done.  The current paint shows really nicely, and people kept asking me "why are you getting it painted??"  Well, there was some filiform corrosion starting in on my elevators from a bad prep job the last time it was done... in truth it also came down to just wanting that shiny new look and a different scheme. I came up with a modern twist on an old scheme, in red/white/blue in homage to old glory. Hope she turns out nice.
