Paint Shop Recommendations

I know it's a trek for you, but you owe it to yourself to check out Dassault's paint facility in ILG. I have seen a few birds come out of there, and the finish and detail work is just incredible.

Who did your paint Sabre?

It was Jet Works at kdto.

We've had two hawkers painted at Westar in Grand Junction, CO. Did a great job!

I third that on Jim Miller - Uvalde, TX

Ask for Javier

Jim Miller is fine for the paint, just don't use Southstar for the interior. I can't list all of the problems we have had with the entertainment system, chairs, overhead lights, etc. Plus, some of the stuff they used (and we consequently replaced) was not approved for aviation.

Miller did do our paint. With the exception of a few sharp edges, the paint is still in perfect shape 2 years later. We do hanger the aircraft.

Aerozona in Safford, AZ did our Hawker 800A and Citation V. Both came out great and were done in 10 days for a very fair price. I believe this is the same Jim Miller from Uvalde who opened a shop in SAD.

Elliott Aviation in Moline, IL. Outstanding work.

FYI - If you liked the paint quality of ...6JP, that was painted in Uvalde as well in 2002.

Anyone have experience with West Star Aviation's paint shop in East Alton, IL (ALN)?

Used Alton a few years back on a CJ and they did good work. The paint shop has changed hands since but I have heard good things. they stay very busy just like the rest of the good shops!
