Crafting Excellence In Aircraft Refinishing

Elevating Aircraft Refinishing to an Art Form
Ace was founded in 2017 by Luke Strawbridge and Nathan Sligh. Luke has been painting airplanes for twenty years. With the skill, knowledge, and confidence that he could set a higher standard of excellence in the industry, he teamed up with Nathan's business acumen to launch Ace Aircraft Refinishing.
Ace specializes in single and twin-engine aircraft and has experience with Cessna, Beechcraft, Piper, Lake, RV, and Velocity, as well as warbirds, private jets, helicopters, and more.
