Since upgrading to captain at my airline, powdercoating vs flying is no longer economically viable. I am keeping the business open for the shops and previous customers that I have done work for so I can continue writing off my Cayenne and racecar, but I'm burned out after 10 years of working 28-31 days per month.

To the OP, I don't think you can acheive that DIY. Either need to go to a body shop or a powdercoater.
I must be a wuss. I work 14 days a month. and I'm burned out.

I'm at around 18 now, but I should be at 14-15. when I was a senior copilot on the 737, it was 10-12 days of flying, so I had lots of time for the other job.

Thanks Kenchan!

It's nice to know some guys (Mike and Rusty) in the business are eating the carrot at the end of the stick. I left Part 121 in 2008 to go corporate, work about 10-15 days (3-4 overnights) a month. My paycheck will never be as big as yours though. Congratulations on the upgrade. It's unfortunate you don't accept new customers as I was hoping to do this someday.

Want to congrats Mike too on the step up.

My schedule is for 14 days a month, 12 hr days. With overtime. I usually get over 2600 hrs a year.

Good LAWDY that's some serious seat time! I'm about 350/yr. I'd be burned out too. Is that military?

On a lighter note I will have the pleasure of flying this thing in the fall. Getting my Seaplane Rating then taking clients fishing in this. And you are seeing correctly, that is a PT6 and Radar Pod.
