Midland is close and I would recommend AvSource West.

Jim Miller Aircraft Paint in Uvalde, Texas (830) 278-3275 can handle it.

Not sure what their schedule is. They have done many warbirds including Col. Bormans "SU SU" and "SU SU II".

Terry Rogers at Grayson County Airport in Sherman, Texas restored the Cavanaugh DC-3/C-47 including the paint work. He is currently remanufacturing the CAF P-47N for that organization as well.

With TORA 101, we used Crider (former Goodner Bros) out of Mena, AR, not too far from Dallas. Reasonable, excellent quality (full strip and paint with TORA 101), good speed, and great to work with, especially our specific scheme, detail, and color requirements. Our contact point: Rodger and Cyndie Crider, 479-394-0110.
