Bobby Potts in Tuscaloosa, AL did mine 5 years ago. Still happy with it.

Default The Best

Hawk Aircraft Painting at Tampa Executive Airport (KVDF) has done several -12s including two of my neighbors'. My wife's -12 is being painted at Hawk now. Aviation Consumer consistently ranks Hawk among the best in the U.S. I visited three other painters in central Florida and saw the difference.

The owner Joe Dinolfo is pleasant and true to his word. Others know about Hawk, so be prepared for a 3-month wait and something like $7500 (you get what you pay for). http://www.hawkaircraft.com

I highly recommend International Jets in Gadsden, AL (KGAD), just north of Birmingham. The paint shop supervisor, Micah Nash, provided exceptional customer service and did a phenomenal job on the paint job. He always answered the phone immediately and was quick to call if he had questions on the layout. I also felt that the price was very fair for the beautiful work done.
