From my personal experience Elliott is one of the best if not the best. Duncan is also up there from what I hear. Both have the best warranties too. I can't speak about Duncan, but Elliott probably is on the high end, but you will get what you paid for. Depending on what they find when they strip and the design you want, but if you are looking to do something similar to what a new 300 comes out looking like, its probably around $110k. I would not be surprised if you found quotes in the $80s.
I kept the base (belly) coat (with some parts that were re-done) on my plane and the wings and they redid the nose and top coat to what I wanted and it cost me close to $60k. My plane looks brand new to me. -

04-12-2023, 07:57 AM #8Corrigan in Hondo Texas great bang for the buck. On the high end West Star GJT outstanding along with Duncan. I'm curious as I've heard that West Star and Duncan use Dupont paint while Embraer is bound under contract to use Akzo Nobel. I was surprised as I thought an ASC would also be bound.
One other comment on paint - many people like the Embraer demo scheme (they call it tuxedo) however it is a bear to touch up. Once they start dropping panels on inspections it becomes noticeable. Keep it simple and get a teflon coating. I always advise the coating for my owners. Reasonable price, keeps the gloss and helps the paint stay on longer around the nose and nacelles.
Ok one more comment - Scheme designers does a nice job if you're playing around with different ideas. -

I just finished doing a complete custom paint job with Corrigan Air Center. I’m extremely picky on the project. They knocked it out of the park!

05-31-2023, 06:48 PM #12I sent out RFQs to Duncan, WestStar, Elliott for the big names and Corrigan and East Coast for the smaller shops. Does anyone have experience with East Coast? They are a small family operation and claim to have painted four Phenoms recently. I've asked for references. Thus far, they are by far the most responsive.

06-02-2023, 05:44 PM #14I had Corrigan Air Center paint my P300 three years ago. They did a great job. Scheme Design did the paint scheme and Corrigan put it on the plane perfectly. No problems after three years with the paint except minor chipping on the usual high wind impact areas. Have your exterior placards painted on instead of using plastic stickers. Only downside to Corrigan is the 45-60 minute ride to KSAT on drop off and pickup.
