Experimental & Homebuilt Aircraft Painting
You spent years building it. The paint should look like you meant it — without consuming the avionics budget.
The experimental community is enormous — Van's RVs alone number in the thousands flying — and builders face a familiar fork: an automotive-grade job that undersells years of craftsmanship, or a boutique aircraft shop bill that rivals the engine. We built a third option.
Experimentals suit a standardized process well: airframes are compact, popular kit types share known geometry, and builders tend to know their aircraft intimately, which makes scoping fast and honest. Whether the airplane arrives freshly flown-off or is due for its first repaint, the sequence is the same disciplined one.
Painting an unfinished project? Talk to us about timing — coordinating paint around your build and inspection schedule is exactly the kind of planning conversation we like to have early.
Common questions
Do you paint Van's RVs?
Yes. RV-series aircraft are a core category — compact airframes with well-known geometry that fit a standardized production sequence beautifully.
Can you match a scheme I designed myself?
Usually — bring the design to the quote conversation. Complexity affects labor and price honestly, and we will tell you if a concept needs simplification to stay in budget.
