GPB,

The surface prep on the Phenom is immaculate. No pinholes, dings (unless you put them there), etc. It comes pre-primered in gray, ready to assemble and paint. Assembly is about 3-4 hours. Well it was for me anyway. This of course doesn't include any epoxy drying. The 3-4 hours is time spent actually working on it to get it assembled. I really think it's less time than that.
What say you other Phenom owners? ChuckL, Crazy, Razor? Am I right? I see that once Razor's dremel problem was solved...lol..He got his painted quick!

I can't wait for spring flying to start!
