Avant Aurora - EFX - FX > Would someone please paint my Avant? Or have a painted one I can buy?

Wow the painters I have heard of on here have a long turnaround to paint a canopy! I have waited two days just for a reply e-mail from one. I don't need anything special, I just want a nice fade and painted windscreen to help with orientation.

It is an Avant canopy and I want to get it painted before exposing it to fuel. Is there anyone who will put a quality paint job on it for me without having to wait several weeks or even months to get it back?

I would like to have someone who is going to be reliable, possibly local to socal, and has experience painting so it will turn out decent and so it will last.

Last but most important for you is I will compensate you. Please let me know!

UPDATE: If you have a painted Avant canopy you are not using for now and are willing to sell it please let me know. I can trade you my unpainted one plus cash or buy it outright from you.

Ricko just did my last canopy. I shipped it out on a Monday, and two weeks later, I got mine in the mail that Wednesday. Excellent paint quality, and relatively cheap, and a hell of a nice guy too!

Here is a pic!

Pete,

As far as a local body shop, did you have to tell them anything special as far as clearing over the paint to keep the nitro from ruining it?

Heck, some of the helicopter painters would charge you $200 for one canopy.

You are in Orange County, perhaps you want to try this guy, he painted Marcus Kim Raptor 90 and it is a beauty. He is in the San Diego Area close to you. here is web page www.dydhelmets.com
It will cost you a little more, but he does a great job.
He does helmets for Motorcycles, but he is doing Heli canopies too.
Good luck
Here is the job he did in Marcus Heli.
