Default Southern Jet Center - KSFB

Brian,

Southern Jet Center in Sanford did my paint job and I couldn't be happier. Give Coty Smith the paint shop supervisor a call (407) 314-5534.

I can recommend Blue Sky Aviation, KSUT, Oak Island NC. I am picking up my RV7 this week fresh from the paint shop.

Contact Brian Strong, 910-457-1039, tell him Gary sent you :-)

We have had over a half-dozen planes painted by Brian, based out of Raleigh Exec Jetport at Sanford-Lee County. Really just KTTA for short, but the name is catchy.

Cheers,

Gary

Default Hi Brian....

Lee Strickland in Sandersville, Ga. Ray Lawrence will disassemble your airplane and Lee will take it into town on his rollback. He's done many airplanes and there are several on the field you can look at.

Ray..478 232 9560,

Strong second here for Bobby Potts. He just did my 9A and did a wonderful job. Real nice guy to work with, does the work himself, has a nice shop, and I paid exactly what he quoted me and the aircraft was ready when he said it would be. If you want photos of my 9A drop me an e-mail.
