231LV Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) So we are now at a point where we want to put new paint on the plane. We plan to use Arizona Aeropainting in Eloy, AZ but want to engage the services of a good scheme designer. We are looking for any recommendations..... Edited August 4, 2020 by 231LV Quote
carusoam Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 Watch how MS works... There are two paint scheme companies... One is better than the other... Each time I guess which one is the good one.... Byron comes along and explains the detail I missed... So let’s ask @jetdriven His paint scheme IS awesome! Best regards, -a- Quote

gsxrpilot Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 When my time comes up, I'm just copying @jetdriven's scheme... in blue. Quote

Yep, that’s a great looking scheme indeed. My opinion..... there is great value in keeping with an original Mooney scheme from your Mooney. Quote

ArtVandelay Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 I guess it depends on how complicated of a scheme you want. My paint guy did it himself. I basically found a plane close to what I wanted, then drew my own alterations free handed on my iPad. That and detail description: size of stripes, location details, etc, he was able to use photoshop to draw the scheme. Quote
carusoam Posted August 4, 2020 Report Posted August 4, 2020 Tom, Speaking of photoshop... I saw an artist apply all kinds of patterns over the surface of a picture of Plymouth prowler... While he removed bolt heads off a commercial pic of a machine for me..... It looked as if it was really painted in the funny patterns he had selected.... That was a great way to visualize what needed to be done... Adobe has some really powerful visual arts software.... the program box probably has a note clearly affixed to it... ‘Artist not included‘.... There is no way I would be able to do any of that without years of training.... and some retraining after that... Best regards, -a- Quote

231LV Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks for all the suggestions...looks like Scheme Designers.... Quote

ArtVandelay Posted August 8, 2020 Report Posted August 8, 2020 If cost matters, Metallic paint Red paint Two tone paint schemes 4 or more colors Elaborate or intricate schemes (nose art) Are just a few things that can drive up the cost of a paint job. And think about customizing your tail number, now is the time to change it. Quote

kris_adams Posted August 8, 2020 Report Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) So the funny thing is that I've been trying to get the "bandit" look around the window and until you posted this pic I didn't realize the paint around the windows on N1137Z is actually black. I'll be trying that in the next revision. Edited August 8, 2020 by Kris_Adams 1 Quote

carusoam Posted August 8, 2020 Report Posted August 8, 2020 +1 for metallic paint and color shifting technology... +1 for subtle things worked into the paint like wavy checker boards and Eagle beaks... -a- Quote
