I know. It's treasonous to ask this question. Does anyone know of a good aircraft painter in the Portland area? We just bought a Kitfox 7 that has a nice coat of primer on it but needs a completed paint job. I realize there's a tremendous amount of joy in the painting process but we're incredibly busy and this appears to be the only option. Thx.

Try John Pike at Blue Sky Stearmans.

Jim: GREAT suggestion! I'm surprised I haven't heard of John Pike and his accomplishments. Many thanks!

I'd be interested to hear what they have to tell you. I'm still in the planning stages and want to at least get an idea of what a paint job would cost. I'm also based in the Portland area, so anything you find out will be very relevant!

Kyle Bushman with Ragwood Refactory in Creswell did my previous top, bottom, and boot cowlings. Top notch work!
