The paint was eroding on the King Air 350 prop blades. After a lot of research for paint and new Hartzell decals, I was ready to begin.

Here’s where I bought the prop paint and new Hartzell decals:

It was important to NOT get paint on anything other than the prop blades…

Finally, after finishing the black and gray paint, it was time to paint the white stripes (my favorite part and the part that makes the whole blade pop!)

I was very happy with the end result:

Always consult your maintenance manual before painting prop blades. It’s also a good idea to check in with your favorite prop shop for tips and advice as well.


Other items discussed in this podcast episode:

  • The bad audio in episode 234 and how it’s been fixed.
  • Finishing the Aerostar annual and the two surprises at the end.
  • King Air fuel quantity issue, and replacing a fuel probe.
  • King Air battery capacity test and reconditioning charge.
