Heliian Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 It looks like we're sending our fleet to be repainted in the usa as there "wasn't any reasonable options" for the work to be done in Canada. Is this the norm now? Is it not economically viable to repaint a medium domestically anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s in the water out East. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayHorizons Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 lots of places to get paint done....i guess the question is, how busy are they, and how much prep work do you need? and the best question of all, is how good will the end product look?

wcobra Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I remember an old saying... Buying QUALITY is like buying hay. If you want nice, clean, fresh hay, you must pay a fair price. However if you can be satisfied with hay that has already been through the cow...well now THAT COMES A LITTLE CHEAPER. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
