Is MRG still in business? Durst?

Who does custom painting?

Thanks for your advice.

Location: Omaha, Nebraska		I would go with Rob Peterson (AKA Muskynightmare) or Beaver for custom painting.
Also Jed Volkman does strictly HRs. All 3 are great painters!

I must be behind the times. Last I heard Rob was guiding only and Beaver hurt his back.

I will get in touch.

Location: Marshfield, WI		I just checked his site and it doesn't say anything about repainting. I know he moved recently and probably isn't repainting yet. Might resume next off-season? I guess you'll have to ask Rob.
Stan Durst has been VERY busy with work and has had very little time for painting. No idea if he is still taking orders on baits. He might be just finishing up what orders he has left, like mine, which I sent a while ago.

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water		Hi,
My life has been very busy as of late, and I have very little time to paint anymore, and really only do it for friends and friends of friends now. I might have time after the season is over with. Sorry.

I don't think Mike (MRG) is painting anymore. Shame because he was d^&* good.

Location: Land of the Musky		Mike was good. Still have a bunch of Grunts painted by him. Now that he is done I am keeping a bunch for my collection. Good honest guy too!


I do see his website is back up so I wonder if someone picked up the torch???

Location: Marshfield, WI		I just remembered, Ryan Jinkerson(Ry-Lure) offered to do repaints for me. I haven't seen him on here in quite a while though.
