Paint is all over very light grey (almost white), with darker grey and maroon stripes.  In excellent condition even though it is over 12 years old.

Interior has leather seats in excellent condition, with leather and fabric side panels.  Headliner is also in very good condition.  Very attractive.

Glass is in very good to excellent condition.

Comments:

I have owned and flown close to a hundred different B55 Barons.  It has the highest useful load I have ever seen.  It trues out at 195 kts instead of the book 188 kt figure.  

The prop is high time, but has been inspected every year for condition and corrosion.  It has no known corrosion and has a TBO of 12,000 hours if flown for part 91.  This two blade prop does not climb as well as a three blade prop, but is about 3-5 kts faster in cruise.
