Had a buddy go look at a PA22/20-160 for sale and it has been metalized (recovered). The owner claims it came from the factory that way as a tri-pacer, but I was unaware of any way to do that other than an STC. I Know Metalization was offered from the factory as an anti-corrosion option for the fuselage if it was to be operated in damp climate ie)on floats.

Anyone ever hear of factory metal covering?

Cheers,
