I am very happy with the work. The paint is applied very evenly, is extremely smooth, and has a beautiful gloss. The colored paint scheme was applied exactly as per my sketches, and the metallic colors have great depth due to excellent metallic and clear coat paint application. I will certainly recommend your paint shop to anyone looking to have their airplane painted. I would be happy to let you use me as a reference.
