AR Painting LLC, based in Gresham, Oregon, is a dedicated model-building and painting service specializing in bringing plastic model kits – particularly Revell parts kits – to a stunning, finished reality. We're a small, passionate team at 3309 SE 12th St, 97080-9131, and reachable at 212-246-8026, and we love making models look their absolute best. If you're a Revell enthusiast who either doesn't have the time, skill, or frankly, the patience to tackle the painting process, we’re here to help. The Revell Renaissance & Why Painting Matters Revell is an iconic name in model building. For generations, they've provided kits ranging from classic cars and airplanes to military vehicles, ships, and sci-fi masterpieces. But let's be honest – a kit straight out of the box isn’t the finished product. The real magic happens in the assembly and, crucially, the paint job. A fantastic paint job elevates a model from a static display piece to a work of art. It adds realism, depth, and truly brings the subject matter to life. That's where AR Painting LLC steps in. We understand the nuances of working with Revell kits, the different plastic types, the best primers, paints, and techniques to achieve exceptional results. We're not just painting on a model; we’re enhancing it. Our Services: Tailored to Your Revell Kit We offer a comprehensive range of painting services for all types of Revell parts kits. Here's a breakdown of what we can do: Kit Assembly (Optional): If you just want the painting done, great! But if you'd prefer we handle the entire build process, we can meticulously assemble your Revell kit, ensuring everything fits perfectly and is ready for priming. We're experienced with glueing, filling gaps, and smoothing surfaces. Priming: This is a critical step. We use high-quality primers specifically chosen for the plastic used in Revell kits. Priming provides a smooth, even surface for the paint to adhere to, and it helps to bring out the details of the model. Base Coating: We utilize a wide range of acrylic and enamel paints to achieve the colors you desire. Whether you want a faithful reproduction of the original subject or a custom color scheme, we can deliver. We pay close attention to color matching and even application. Detail Painting: This is where we really shine. We specialize in painting the small details that make a model truly stand out. Things like panel lines, rivets, weathering effects, instrument panels, and individual components are all meticulously painted by hand. We can replicate everything from subtle grime and dirt to battle damage and realistic wear and tear. Weathering: Want your model to look like it's seen action? We offer a variety of weathering techniques, including washes, dry brushing, chipping, and streaking, to create a realistic and believable finish. We can tailor the level of weathering to your preference – from lightly worn to heavily battle-scarred. Decaling: Applying decals can be tricky. We expertly apply decals, ensuring they are properly aligned, adhered, and sealed to prevent silvering. Clear Coating: A final clear coat protects the paint and decals, adds shine (or a matte finish, if preferred), and enhances the overall durability of the model. Why Choose AR Painting LLC for Your Revell Kits? Passion for Models: We’re not just doing a job; we're building and painting models because we love it. This passion translates into a commitment to quality and attention to detail. Experience with Revell: We've worked with countless Revell kits over the years, and we understand the unique challenges and opportunities they present. Customization: We offer a fully customizable service. You tell us your vision, and we’ll bring it to life. Want a specific camouflage pattern? A particular weathering effect? Just let us know. High-Quality Materials: We use only the best paints, primers, and clear coats to ensure a durable and long-lasting finish. Competitive Pricing: We offer fair and transparent pricing for our services.

Turnaround times will vary depending on the complexity of the project.
