Challenger paint

[JJET44]

Could someone give me a ballpark range on how much it would cost to paint a Challenger. We're not looking for the cheapest nor the best of the best but about mid range. Also we're looking for a basic white with a few stripes.
Thx

I would venture to say somewhere around $100k. If I recall, ours was $120k when paint shops were busy.

$130,000

Just checked with our DOM, expect $130k, or more.

We are about to get our Falcon painted at Duncan Aviation in Battle Creek. We got prices from a number of reputable facilities and they were all similar in price.

Which part of the country are you located? AeroSmith in Longview, TX or Rose Aircraft in Mena, AR are two places that do ok work and should be somewhere in the middle on price.

Agreed, but I'd go to Battle Creek before LNK. They have a climate controlled paint hangar that LNK doesn't have.

$130k sounds about right for a 300 base with two color stripes. Near to what our DA-900 cost a while back.

We're in the Philadelphia area.

I flew a Westwind (2005) that was painted in Battle Creek and the paint was CRAP... I would never take a plane to them again... Duncan in Lincoln is a different story completely.
