FlyWire looks at painting the F33C Bonanza and all the ins and outs of that process. If you are thinking about it, check it out!
FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

Makes me want to get my A36 repainted. What a hot looking paint job!

@darrenhillman8396 3 года назад

Love the colour scheme on 33C, Gunny! Great for visual conspicuity when you are on the ground but even greater when you are in the air! Superb finishing too. Well-worth the expense. Thats easy to say when its not my own money! 🤣 Definitely needs your “FlyWire” logo on the tail, a perfect finishing touch for her. Best wishes from the UK.

I learned a lot about painting from model airplane building: There are over under paints and if you do a wrong combination you get a mess!

@mannypuerta5086 4 года назад

Good looking paint scheme! I’m partial to red/white/blue, too.

@scotabot7826 4 года назад

My Gosh, that is one beautiful paint job! Just stellar craftsmanship, and that shade of red you chose is awesome. Everybody will be staring at you on the ramp! Now go roll that baby.

@johnmorykwas2343 2 года назад

If the plane had a repaint in UK, the Brits and European use a water base acrylic paint. I had to strip Jaguars and other European cars to bare metal inorder to use American paints. Same with aircraft.

@gb9926 3 года назад

Adding your “flywire” logo on the tail with a wrap would look great and could be removed before selling in the future!

@FlyWirescottperdue 3 года назад

Great idea!

@mrmutra569 Год назад

Great stuff well done

@johnmorykwas2343 2 года назад

Did you see the can of Eastwood paint or primer in the video? Great paint.

@bradgray8064 4 года назад

Yes. There is a lot of surface area there.

@gb9926 3 года назад

I think it would be prudent to go ahead now and have a ceramic coating applied before leaving the hangar... it would improve the durability!

@LiraNuna Год назад

I spoke to a few paint shops and they do not recommend to ceramic coat immediately after painting. It takes approximately 3 months for the paint to fully cure, do it a few months after.

@danielruff4632 4 года назад

Beautiful paint scheme!! Best looking Bonanza I’ve seen!

@tyrionlannister6769 4 года назад

Scott....another most informative video and Yep - preparation (especially masking) is the key...! Being a bit radical here - instead of the checks...did you consider Polka Dots...!?

@FlyWirescottperdue 4 года назад

HaHa... no, I never really considered Polka Dots. Too late now!

From a guy that painted new gulf stream. G200&500. If that doesn’t show my age. It’s very labor intensive.

Beautiful airplane!

@FlyWirescottperdue 3 года назад

@DeereX748 3 года назад

How much weight does that paint job add to the plane? Speaking of your Bonanza specifically, but also any comparably-sized plane. I remember reading somewhere about the paint scheme on some larger commercial planes added a couple thousand pounds of primer and paint.

@nancychace8619 3 года назад

Excellent paint job. Interesting consideration of creation, or not, of resale value. Similar story with real estate. They say not to remodel much if you are planning to sell, b/c a prospective owner might have much different taste, can affect the sale. Unless, of course you are planning to keep it. There are always those unintended consequences 🙂🦖💐🌠🚂🛼🪂🛸

@Joe_Not_A_Fed 3 года назад

Hey Scott. That is a gorgeous paint job. I'm watching this again and a question popped into my noodle: Why is there grip tape on the flap surfaces? I assumed they were a 'no step' area. Thanks.

@FlyWirescottperdue 3 года назад

That one section of the flap gets stepped on when people board the airplane. true Bonanza fliers step over it.

@Joe_Not_A_Fed 3 года назад

@@FlyWirescottperdue I thought that might be the case. I seem to recall putting the flaps down to keep passengers from being tempted to step on them. I think they were approved of by Piper to be stepped on...but not by me. Thanks for the response.

@timmholzhauer3342 4 года назад

Nice paintjob! Only the tail looks a bit empty. Could use some sort of logo. Callsign is cool! Would love to change mine. Not eaay to say on the radio.

@FlyWirescottperdue 4 года назад

Timm, you've got a great idea! A Logo would be perfect there;)

@jackbrainassociates8806 4 года назад

Beautiful paint job on your airplane, I just got my 210 back from paint last week. What’s your plan for long term care? Ceramic is what I’m hearing.

@FlyWirescottperdue 4 года назад

I plan to let it cure for about a month, then wax it and use a Ceramic coating. I will also add 3M Leading Edge tape. Look for an upcoming video on that.

@kinsleysykes5509 4 года назад

@@FlyWirescottperdue Don't wax if you are adding Ceramic or put down the ceramic first. Ceramic is really demanding of surface prep, and needs a pristine surface to properly adhere.

@johnmorykwas2343 2 года назад

The job is 92% prep, and 8% paint job.

@Joe_Not_A_Fed 3 года назад

That looks good, Scott. Years ago, I did some painting at my brother's body shop. Mostly vehicles but we did one 172. I still have the stink of that paint stripper in my nose. You're 100% correct. Shooting the paint is maybe 1% of the process.

@FlyWirescottperdue 3 года назад

Thanks Joe!

@MachTuck 3 года назад

Very interesting video! My opinion, you picked a nice scheme and colors for that 33 model. I personally like the factory schemes for Bonanzas from early to mid 70s, maybe with some of the newer colors, but keeping the factory scheme, i`m not much into "modern" designs for older aircraft, I`m kind of classic for that, same as I like analog instruments panels compared to all glass stuff, the way they look I mean. Some of the late models airplanes nowadays, they got that "expensive" automobile look regarding the interior, power quadrant, dashboard, etc. Im old school! lol

@piper0428 4 года назад

Nice!!! guess cost is around 12k to 16K

@jbl7092 2 года назад

Price quoted to paint a Cessna 150 was more than the plane cost. Hilarious.

@akb5531 2 года назад

Question...the color TRD has always had a tendency to oxidize (fade). What do the do to the paint to prevent that? Beautiful job, btw!

@toma5153 2 года назад

Did you mean red instead of trd? Color fade depends on the type of pigment you use. In the "old" days various metal based pigments were used, often based on lead or cadmium compounds. However those are toxic and bad news for people spraying paints. Hence newer type organic pigments. To inhibit fading, mostly from ultraviolet light, additives can be put in the paint which inhibit or absorb the ultraviolet rays. Examples of UV absorbers and inhibitors could be naphthalene or Ciba-Geigy's Tinuvin organometallic tin compounds. Color fade is only one problem for aircraft. Rain erosion, exposure to big temperature extremes in a short period of time, ice formation, hail, etc. all take their toll. Current high quality catalyzed polyurethane topcoats are a vast improvement over older style coatings.

Hello Catherine it’s a very beautiful and the stripe on the wing it Give impression like aerobatics airplane It’s remind me by that airplane With two Wings on top of each other and the woman hanging out On top of the plane I was hoping that you share some numbers about how much that cost you to give Who is interesting some estimate number. Thanks again

@FlyWirescottperdue 4 года назад

It is an aerobatic Bonanza! Lot’s of fun to fly!

@dobermanpac1064 4 года назад

Food for thought. I’m a car racer. Painting my race car added 35 lbs to the car... American Airlines knew this too. Hence all natural bodies for AA. SO here’s my question. Paint or an extra bag of luggage??

@FlyWirescottperdue 4 года назад

Well, the real reason to paint an airplane is to control the effects of oxidation. AA did go with polished AL... nowadays they paint all their airplanes. They always had to polish out the AL to keep ahead of the oxidation and that meant a LOT of man hours to polish. Once upon a time I flew for AA and frankly you don't notice the difference, its noise level. the sun and the weather play havoc on the airplane... so paint is more of a protection measure.

@desertdog185 3 года назад

Would love to know the rough cost for two ( or three ) colors .

@FlyWirescottperdue 3 года назад

More than you think;) It is so much labor, and labor is only getting more expensive.

@desertdog185 3 года назад

@@FlyWirescottperdue Yes. If I were to take a stab at it, I would guess $25,000-$30,000? I honestly feel like I have no concept of inflation over the last 20 years.

@FlyWirescottperdue 3 года назад

@@desertdog185 Pretty good, just a tad high unless you get a complicated color scheme.
