G109A Fuselage Painted or Gelcoat

Hello

I'm looking art acquiring a G109A and wondered if the fuselage was originally covered in gel-coat or was it painted? Also, does anyone know what the cockpit dimensions are? My son would fly with me and he is very tall

It was gel coat originally. I had mine subsequently refurbished with paint.

I don't have the cockpit height dimensions, but it should be uncomfortable for a tall person. I'm 5'6" and had modest clearance, including the headset. While the seat could have leaned back further for someone with longer arms, it should still be tight. The "B" has a different cockpit height...just one of the improvements to the original model. Before investing in the G109 (there is no "A" I suggest investing in sitting in one.
