I'm trying to narrow down a paint scheme for my M20K.

I'd like to see suggestions and PICs of airplanes that made you go WOW!  Here's one that I like but needs to be tweeked.

This is a Mooney from another thread on Mooneyspace.  I think this is one of the nicest looking Mooneys I have seen.

Well, I’m rather partial to this one.

Here is mine before and after new paint. You can see samples at Aerostyll.fr.

Yeah I'm not sure why the "A" on the tail for Acclaim on a K model. 

They copied it off an Acclaim, I did something similar, but I move the stripes lower so they didn’t get split by the back windows. I kept all the stripes off the control surfaces as well because I didn’t want to add extra weight to them. And kept the stripes off the handles/locks.

Looks good Tom.  What do they call that blue, is a Sherwin-Williams color?  I don't know why people run the stripes through the rear windows.  I also am going to keep color changes from the cowling mounting surfaces.

Don’t know, I picked it out of a sample book of 100s of colors. I think it’s pretty close to Royal Blue.

We’re going to need to see some good letter designs to beat the Acclaim’s A!

+1 For GMB’s K…

There have been some memorable designs around here over the years…

…and some copies that ruffled some feathers….  Watch for trade mark or design infringement….

 

Selecting colors is also interesting…

The brightest paint job belonged to MTL… he went with bright orange on the BMW design group’s layout…. Find @orangemtl
 

Selecting a tail number is always cool… find the Pi plane…. Look close for the decimal point in the tail number… @aviatoreb

 

Nicest reds and wavy checkers…. Byron must have worked extra hard perfecting their layout… @jetdriven

Finest refresh of original art… @Bob_Belville really dressed up his forever-plane…. It looked new from the factory…

 

Keep in mind there are many really cool paint schemes and color selections around here including a really nice Ovation in Canada…

These are just the few that came immediately to mind….

Spend a lot of time on the design layout… Forever planes last a really long time…. :)

Best regards,
