  • Glider refinish Florida or Poland?

    From Michael N.@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 9 16:21:50 2023
    My Ventus C is in need of refinishing.
    A year or so ago I saw several gliders that had come in from being refinished in Poland that looked great.
    It was a group thing where several people went in together on a shipping container to ship them back and forth with all the applicable customs stuff.

    I am wondering if anyone is still doing this, or looking for suggestions?

    Also I live in Florida, so may an east coast finishing shop?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
