I've seen a couple of planes done by Mick Allen (no relation, honest!) at Turweston, and they looked magnificent. (The Midget Mustang that featured in the magazine a few months back was done by him I think.)

Mick Allen at Turweston has now painted 4 aircraft for me and I wouldn't consider using anyone else. Probably not the cheapest though.
Yes there are guys out there who can make a plane look lovely when first done but its what it looks like after 5 years being out in all weathers that counts.
A plus also is that he is a nice guy to deal with.
