Recommendation for wheel pants repair.
I purchased an extra set of wheel pants for my Star from the factory many years ago as spares and just put them on the plane. My original wheel pants have some cracks along the bottom edge so I figured it might be easier and more economic to send them out to a quality composite shop for repair and new paint rather than buy new ones. Just wondering if any other members here have a recommendation for a good repair shop here in the states? I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

Glenn Lawler of Southtec Aviation at KRUQ in North Carolina repaired my wing tip recently. They did a great job.

I just checked out their website and they have some really good before and after photos of Diamond wheel pant repairs.
Mine are not nearly as bad as the ones shown in their photos. I will give them a call to get idea of cost. Again, thanks.
