I just got my 8 back from a shop by Greensboro NC and wanted to give him a huge thumbs up. My 8 is 20 years old and has ver 3200 hours with 9 years of airshows under her belt. While I didn’t want a complete paint job I really needed to spruce her up. My old team mate on Team Aerodynamix Leggs keeps his 8 at 3A4, Southeast Greensboro airport and had Mike Ibe do some paint work for him and was also very pleased with his job. I sent Mike a bunch of photos of what I wanted done and he promptly replied with a quote that I was happy with and we scheduled it. Now the list was long. Lots of chips around cowl, both top, bottom and where it meets the fuse. Both cockpit rails and fuselage edge. Windscreen bow and along fuse where it meets, gear legs, a fist size patch on vertical stab from rain erosion, leading edge chips..the list goes on. Nothing really bad from 20 feet, just showing her age.
Less than 2 weeks later Mike calls and says she ready and while he’s got her how about ceramic coating..
When he opened the hangar door I was astounded by his work. He hit everything I mentioned and then said, well, while I’m at it there were a few other spots I thought you’d like done. Matching colors is an art and he’s an artist. My 8 looks like new and shines like a new dime.
I just met Mike through Len and have no connection other than being a very satisfied customer. If you need anything from a touchup on up to a paint job I highly recommend him. He’s excited to get into the RV community.
