I've looked into GLO Custom. The last time I talked to them, they next available spot was in early 2017 and by then I'll be moving to the northeast and that's farther than I want to fly to get it painted.

How flexible are you to a short notice paint slot coming open?

When I went into GLO back in January, like you, the first slot available at that time was late in 2016 ....but I let them know very clearly that if they had any openings sooner to put me in it.

I got called mid-March for a first week of April slot....

Just sayin'....

Midwest Aircraft Refinishing in Hibbing, Minnesota. They have done a beautiful job on a number of local RVs, including an award wining RV-8 at last years Air Venture. They do a lot of work on Cirrus aircraft, so they can make your fiberglass parts look great. I have a slot for my RV-7A project in December and was quoted what I thought was a reasonable price. Check them out at midwestaircraftrefinishing.com

Woodlake Aircraft Refinishers in Sandwich, IL ... 40-50sm southwest of Chicago. Small shop, tight quality control, very high standards. They exceeded my every expectation in painting my bird this past winter. Their quoted price for my scheme was 10% higher than GloCustom, but the logistics for me were w-a-y easier, since they're only 75nm from my home airport. From drop-off date to completion was 5 weeks. Ask for Mike.

GLO-Custom is one of the best. That is why Grady is booked up for the next 10 months. He has done work for me, and it has been near perfection.

It is worth the wait. They have customers in 36 states and Canada.
