Pics of my new paint job
After 2 1/2 years of listening to "when are you going to paint it," I finally broke down. I've been saving my pennies for a paint job (no aptitude for doing it myself) for a couple of years, so I took the hammer to the piggy bank. Here's a pic of the results:

Pretty nice, huh?
Here's a close up to see the intricate detail...

At least she liked the colors...see that smile?
Unpainted for a couple more years...

Yikes !!!!!!
BIG mistake....... 
Now she knows you can spend the ''hard earned'' on HER - bye bye paint job 
And then come the ''Little people'' who help you get through even more money 
PLUS you then need a bigger plane - 10
Will she give it back ?

Seriously
Personally not having decided on my own paint scheme (probably sometime around 2020 - see signature) I really like the polished silver look - couldn't you just buy some silver paint for the white bits

Its about time you got hitched. You've been having WAY too much fun lately. Time for you to suffer along with the rest of us!
Seriously tho..Congrats Jeff. Guess you better forget that paint job and concentrate on saving up for the -10. Family plane you know.....

Now thats a paint job that'll last forever... However it may tend to need more washing and waxing to maintain that new paint luster I guess the coolest thing about it is, it can repay the favor in the years to come.
