Two of the most important factors in raising the value of your aircraft is a great paint job and a luxurious but functional interior. When it is time to resell you will be glad you made an intelligent investment in your aircraft.
There must be understanding that painting an aircraft will differentiate greatly than painting a car. The average car paint job can run from $500 - $2500 easy. A small general aviation aircraft can easily start at $4000 - $5000. Preparatory work is crucial to ensure the painting application process is even and will last. Depending on if any extras such as decals are added the price easily climbs. Careful work is paramount however, Tejas Aero Paint assures you are aware of this.
During prep all old paint must be stripped whilst carefully avoiding crucial aircraft parts. Aircraft painting process usually involves technicians to remove instruments, control surfaces and any old cosmetic parts that are not needed. FAA licensed mechanics are required to be a part of this whole painting process to ensure that all work is up to code. They ensure the correct parts are protected and not painted over as well as ensuring the right chemicals within the paint is used.
It is the same when it comes to interior modifications and installation. Interior installation usually happens after the paint shop. A mid-range custom interior job on a 5-6 place twin can easily range from $6000 - $8000. Seats and headliners are removed, repaired, reupholstered, cosmetic parts are repaired, changed or refurbished. Soundproofing can be added and other useful tech should the budget allow. Seat-belts, seats and harnesses are often changed, these must be done right, are often expensive replacements and must meet FARs to withstand crash loads.
