Paint shops within a couple hours of Toronto

Post by Chris M »

It's time for the 172 to get a fresh coat of paint. Does anyone have suggestions for a shop within say 200 nm of Toronto?

John Goris and Purple Hill Air is just northeast of London (90 miles SW of Toronto). We've used them before and they did an excellent job. Some of their paint jobs have gone on to win awards at Oshkosh.

Thanks, gave John a call and had a chat about it. He certainly sounds like a good guy to work with.

Do they take small GA stuff? All of their website shots are on the bizjet scale.

They wouldn’t touch anything small including a PC-12 when I looked into it pre covid.
