Default New re-finish shop in Western US

Rich George has opened a glider re-finishing shop near Redding, CA. I
have worked with him on my latest re-build of a DG-300 and he re-
finished the wings. He is quite a craftsman and one hell of a hard
worker. We stripped one wing and I finally had to tell him to go home
because I didn't work that hard in a month! His work is outstanding,
the first prospective buyer for this DG took one look and whipped out
his check book and bought it on the spot. I showed Rich how to make up
templates and he reproduced the airfoil from the worst looking bunch
of cracked cel-coat I have ever seen! I told him he's nuts to get
involved in the nasty re-finishing business, but he wants to do it.
Get on his schedule before he decides to raise his rates. Right now
he's quoting 15K + materials to do a 15 meter ship in acrylic
urethane. Most shops are much more and or, like me, just won't do it
anymore! Photos of his work available. Rich's Refinishing (530)
