The Story of Custom Aircraft Refinishing

Crafting Excellence in Aircraft Refinishing Since 1994

For three decades, Custom Aircraft Refinishing has been at the forefront of aircraft painting, driven by a passion for aviation history and a commitment to elite craftsmanship.

Founded in 1994, our mission has always been to paint aircraft with world-class quality.

Unmatched Expertise and Precision

With 30 years of experience in aircraft painting, Custom Aircraft Refinishing began as a general aircraft paint shop, working on homebuilt aircraft to private jets.

Over time, our passion for historical aviation and dedication to quality led us to specialize exclusively in warbird painting.

As a certified repair station, we have become known for our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy.

Each project begins with extensive research, collecting vintage photos and documents to ensure that every paint job reflects the aircraft’s true heritage.

By using period-correct colors and insignia, our work stands out in the industry for its dedication to perfection.

The Vision Behind Our Craft

Inspired by a love of history and a deep respect for what these aircraft represent, we focus exclusively on warbirds—aircraft that played pivotal roles in shaping history.

Founder, Roy Kieffer, began his journey with a desire to work on projects that mattered, starting with painting aircraft at various shops and evolving into his own specialized paint shop where only the finest warbirds are painted.

An Elite Approach to Warbird Painting

Our specialized focus on exterior finishes allows us to achieve a quality that is unmatched in the industry.

We don’t just paint aircraft; we bring them back to life with a level of craftsmanship that exceeds expectations.

Our notable projects include iconic warbirds such as the Hellcat, Super Corsair, Zero, P-51s, P-47s, T-6s, and T-28, each painted with the precision and care that have become our trademark.

Commitment to Excellence and Historical Integrity

At Custom Aircraft Refinishing, we understand that every warbird carries a legacy.

We are dedicated to preserving that legacy through quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to over-delivering on our clients' expectations.

Our goal is to contribute to the preservation of these historic aircraft, allowing generations to connect with aviation history in a meaningful way.

Experience the Difference

When clients see their finished warbird, we want them to feel amazed, proud, and excited to share it with the world.

It’s not just about the paint—it’s about honoring the aircraft’s legacy with precision and respect.
