Midwest Aircraft Refinishing, Inc.

Midwest Aircraft Refinishing, Inc. is an aircraft paint, interior and composite repair shop at Chisholm-Hibbing Airport (KHIB) in Hibbing, northern Minnesota. The company says its team brings more than 100 years of combined OEM factory experience, that it has refinished aircraft for over 300 customers, and that the airport is a 20-minute flight from the Cirrus factory in Duluth and has scheduled airline service, which makes drop-off and collection simple. Its stated aim is to return an aircraft "spinner to tail" in like-new or better condition.

Cirrus services

The website names Cirrus Aircraft as a partner, alongside PPG paints and SCS Interiors, and much of its recent work is on SR22s: custom paint for a 2017 SR22, paint and interior for a 2006 SR22, and a painted carbon-fibre effect on a 2004 SR22. Cirrus-specific items listed are CAPS parachute deployment repairs, carbon-fibre instrument panels and custom tyre access doors. Cirrus Aircraft's locator lists the following:

• Maintenance for Cirrus SR20, SR22 and SR22T aircraft
• Garmin and Avidyne avionics service
• Ice protection system maintenance
• Composite and paint repair
• Air conditioning service
• Cirrus parts
• Aircraft pickup and delivery

The company's website concentrates on refinishing and does not describe general maintenance, ice protection or avionics service; "avionics work" appears only as an item under interiors.

Paint, interiors and composites

Paint work covers custom schemes, decals and stripes, restoration and paint updates for everything from homebuilts to light jets, with examples from Cirrus, Piper, Beechcraft, Cessna and Van's. Customers can pick one of the shop's existing schemes, design their own or work one up with the shop. Exterior extras include buffing and detailing, spinner and window scratch removal, window replacement, sealant renewal, edge protectants, three and four blade propeller installation, LoPresti and WAT lights and wheel pants. Interior work covers seats, carpet and full refurbishment. Composite repair ranges from invisible cosmetic fixes to major structural repair, hail damage, corrosion removal, fairings and wheel pants, and modifications and upgrades.

Ferrying and shipping

The shop can arrange ferry flights to and from Hibbing, and offers overseas shipping and receiving, including disassembly and reassembly, as a turnkey service for international moves. Quotes are free through a form on the website.
