About Us

Ryan Franklin

President | Painted Rhino

LinkedIn IconRyan's LinkedIn Profile

Ryan Franklin launched Painted Rhino with a clear yet ambitious goal: to transform rough sketches and bold ideas into tangible works of art. Nearly 30 years later, Ryan and his family-run team have grown Painted Rhino from a garage startup into an award-winning fabrication enterprise.

From the full-scale space shuttle replica towering over Kennedy Space Center to the life-size TIE and X-wing Starfighters at Disneyland, Ryan and the Painted Rhino team have brought thousands of iconic projects to life. They've since expanded into new markets, designing award-winning ground effects kits for Ford Motor Company and supplying all of the fiberglass for the first double-decker buses in the U.S.

Through it all, Ryan has stayed true to his original vision, fostering a tight-knit culture of creativity and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in fiberglass and plastic fabrication.

Painted Rhino is where dreams are made. They took my sketches and improved upon them and sculpted me the fiberglass components on my truck that allowed me to win the Ford design award at SEMA.
