If you don't want to ship your boat then you will be limited by location. Try searching for custom bike shops and ask them if they are willing to take on the project or if they can recomend an airbrush artist in the area.

If you change your mind about shipping;

Douglas in FL and Steve in IN do some very nice work. You can search on Jim's Boat Dock for some picturesof the work they have done.

If you ever make your way towards Fresno theres a place called cycle art that that does custom paint on bikes and rc anything. He also has a store front that sells rc cars. His number is 559 - 233-5234. Im sure if you look at smaller custom shops you can find someone local.A lot of those guys do smaller jobs like painting helmets.

Some auto body or restoration shops might do it as well. I found a shop in my area that will paint almost anything I want to bring them as long as they've got space in the paint booth

Check out my website in the watercraft section. While I do custom paint on bikes, hot rods, race cars, helmets, etc, RC BOATS have been my specialty for the last three years, and I think it's pretty safe to say that my passion for boat paint/design is second to none. Please feel free to see some examples of my work, www.theairbrushalley.com Shipping may not be quite as bad as you think as well. If you like what you see, PM me your address, and I'll get you a quote for shipping through my personal Fedex and/or UPS business account. Or feel free to call 270-570-4442

Come to our NEXT District 9 heat race in Fremont June 2-3 ... have a few guys who race with us who are custom painters and others know of other local painters that also can do R/C boats.
