I have an aircraft on the G-reg and am transferring it to the N-reg. Any recommendations for a paint shop to do the change of reg. ?

RGV at Gloucester have a good paint shop now

Mick Allen at Turweston...also East of England Sailplanes at Husbands Bosworth has a good reputation for doing a good job at reasonable prices.

There's an excellent one at Bournemouth but the name escapes me.....

As a suggestion to the Flyer boffins, this sort of post (asking for recommendation for a paint shop, engine overhaul, avionics engineer) is a regular feature. What about somewhere on the site where maintenance organisations could be listed and recommendations (or otherwise) could be posted?

You could use Irv, I am sure I have a photo of his handywork in Gaff Tape on the side of a Cessna from Popham, when we bumped into him in Cherbourg some years back

Flymoore or Aerocrafting at Dunkeswell

Is there a reason why vinyl can't be used? Is that really only suited for composite aircraft?

[Flyingfemme]

Vinyl is fine - we've used it for all sorts of stuff, not just registrations. But if there's an old reg it will probably need painting out first.......

[Dave W]

Yes, indeed. Just thinking options. Planned longer post discussing that vetoed due phone keyboard!

our reg is vinyl on fabric. works fine. doesn't fall off even when turned upside down!

The reg on the aircraft in my avatar is vinyl and still going strong after 2 winters. It was applied to paint on wood. Cost was about £50 from a sign maker.

Just have a look at CAP523 as I once had a letter from the CAA that they didn't like my registration marks on a PA28 I owned. I was a bit annoyed as a CAA surveyor had seen the aircraft and said nothing. It was only when I sent the picture in for G-INFO that the CAA wrote to me - lesson learned? Don't send in a picture to the CAA!

PS. Forgot that CAP523 won't apply to you and you need to read the FAA regs: http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC%2045-2D.pdf
