Client Comments

John,
I wanted to write and thank you for the excellent paint job on my Lancair IV, N444LF. With your design help, the paint job came out even better than I had hoped. You did the job in the time frame you said you would, and you were very professional to work with. Please feel free to use us as a reference.

Best Regards,
Art & Sue Bertolina
P.S. Your hospitality was
without equal!
I am the proud builder/owner of a Lancair Legacy. John painted it for me after I had flown it for about 30 hours in primer. The design process enabled me to work with John, choosing the colors and concept that I wanted. Throughout this process he offered suggestions, but in the end, the design and color combinations were

mine to make. Since I live locally, I was able to visit my plane in his shop on several occasions during the painting process. During these visits, John explained each phase of the work and what it entailed. He also kept a digital photo record of each step and later burned me a disc of all shots. Working with John, who is the consummate professional, was easy, and the final product is spectacular. I highly recommend him to anyone who has a custom painting project.

My brand new Raven came out even better than I had imagined! John did a fantastic job of developing the design and color selection using his digital design computer. The scale model and actual color painting/rendition he created gave me a pre - paint job look at the helicopter before he even started the project. The whole job from start to finish was a pleasure, and John documented the entire process for me in my absence with my digital video camera. I created a video of the whole process which can be viewed on YouTube. If you want something special, and creativity and quality are your goals, I highly recommend Artistic Aviation for your project.

Before we even started the project, John referred me to Hillsboro Aviation in Oregon to help me with my special avionics needs. Together, the two aviation specialty operations coordinated the completion process on my new R44 Raven ll helicopter.

John,

The paint job you did on my motorcycle is absolutely amazing! You’ve given me my dream of scuba diving and the beauty of the underwater world permanently captured on my tank, and for that I cannot thank you enough. Wherever I go, whether it’s to a major bike event or simply stopping at a convenience store for water while out riding, it always draws a crowd and comments on how awesome the paint job is. The sun rays coming through the water look so real, and the fish and dolphin appear as though they could just swim right off the tank. The bike has won 3 first place awards in various bike shows; one being a “Best of Show” voted on by the people who attended. Everyone absolutely loves the paint job on this motorcycle. I only wish you could be around to hear the wonderful praises you as the artist have gotten from all who see it!! Dreams really do come true … thank you SO very much!

Deb
