Repainting an Aircraft

I doubt many people would understand, or realise what is required to paint an aircraft. Herewith three very basic snaps taken on the phone that shows you the stripping, painting and finished product. I'll upload better pictures when I get back home.
It usually takes a couple of days to do a full strip, buff and repaint, more if it includes fancy logo's etc and depending on the size of an aircraft.
Who can guess what type of aircraft it is?
