A family of painters, two generations deep.
Started by Jason Maghan in Salem, Oregon. Today his son Bailey runs Liquid Painting with the same mindset, craftsmanship, and standards his father built the company on.

Raised on the job site, carrying the brush forward.
Jason's son, Bailey, grew up on job sites — masking floors as a kid and helping his father with painting projects during the summers. From an early age, he learned not only how to paint, but how to treat customers, take pride in quality work, and stand behind every job.
Tragically, on July 3, 2021, Jason passed away in a motorcycle accident. His loss was devastating to his family, friends, and the many customers who knew him throughout the community.
Determined to carry on what his father had built, Bailey stepped into the business and, in his early twenties, took over the company himself. What started as helping his dad on job sites became a commitment to preserving the reputation, values, and craftsmanship his father spent years building.
Today, Bailey runs Liquid Painting with the same mindset, craftsmanship, and standards his father built the company on — delivering quality finishes and taking care of customers the right way.
The work hasn't changed. The handshake hasn't changed. The only thing that's changed is that Bailey now carries the torch his father once held. If you call, Bailey picks up. If something goes sideways, Bailey makes it right. That's the deal.
Bailey, on the brush.
Bailey leads the business day-to-day — bidding projects, running the crew, and being the name on the invoice. His brother Jonah works alongside him on the wall, the ladder, and in the cabinet shop.
Liquid Painting specializes in cabinet refinishing, interior painting, and exterior painting — bringing customers' visions to life while protecting and improving homes throughout the Salem and Keizer community.
When you hire Liquid Painting, you're hiring the family business Jason started. Same standards he set on day one. Same answer-your-call number. Same handshake.
From side jobs to a family business.
McNary High School

Liquid Ink to Liquid Painting

Painting becomes the career

Out on his own
