Thought y'all might like this.  Just out of the GLO Custom paint shop in Roanoke, TX.  $8K for a very thorough 3-color job: removing all the surfaces and canopy, degreasing, pit filling, priming, painting, reassembly.  They do mostly RVs.  They took 3 1/2 weeks.  The rough work that I did feathering in the root of the horizontal stab into the fuselage...  just disappeared in a smooth glossy coat.  Cool.

For the inspiration, Google / Images / F-86 Sabre.   The horizontals have yellow bars too, you can barely see in these pix.

I'm hoping this paint scheme edges it a bit closer to Mach 1.
