The Asheville Radio Museum ( www.avlradiomuseum.org, Asheville, NC) recently received the donation of a 511 with original paint that doesn't look salvageable.

Can anyone recommend  a place we can hire to repaint it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fred Taylor is in TX. And his fees are super-reasonable. For what he does, it is almost free.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Morzh, thank you very much for this suggestion. FYI, I sent Fred Taylor a private message a week ago but have not received a reply. If by chance you have his phone number I'd appreciate your sharing it with me, or giving him a call and letting him know that I sent him a private message on this forum.

Cheers -
Stuart
