Richmond
Aircraft Painting for Richmond-Area Owners
From KRIC, Hanover (KOFP), Chesterfield (KFCI), or New Kent (KW96), our Chesapeake facility is roughly 35 minutes of flying — closer than most alternatives Richmond owners have historically used for paint.
Our aircraft painting facility is located at Hampton Roads Executive Airport (KPVG) in Chesapeake, Virginia. We serve aircraft owners from Richmond by appointment at our Chesapeake facility — we do not maintain a paint facility in Richmond.
Richmond to KPVG, practically
The route is about as easy as Virginia cross-countries get: down the James River corridor, past Williamsburg, into the Hampton Roads basin. Owners based at Hanover and Chesterfield make this run for avionics and maintenance already; paint is the same trip with a better ending.
The Richmond metro supports a dense general aviation community — business flyers, weekend pilots, and a strong experimental scene — with no local option for standardized, accessibly priced exterior refinishing. That gap is exactly what we built for.
Planning the drop-off
Most Richmond owners handle logistics one of two ways: a companion aircraft with a friend (35 minutes back home), or a one-way car from the Norfolk area (about 90 minutes up I-64). We schedule your arrival for when the production slot is actually ready, so the airplane is not sitting idle away from home.
