My thoughts, building a plane is easy, setting up a plane is easy, flying a plane is easy, painting a plane???????? Not so easy. I have painted cars and trucks and been very happy with them. I have yet to paint a plane without messing up the paint job. It's a big mystery to me. I have no talent for design and I stink at it. Give me a brush, gun or can and I can make a plane look like a 6 year old painted it. Two weeks ago I finished painting my new plane, from a couple feet away it looks OK but there are too many mistakes I can see. I keep trying though. This week I have to finish the trim and stripes plus paint the stripes on the bottom. I'm going to give the air brush a try on the bottom and fade the stripes. I do get a bit better job on the solartex for some reason but I usually get some bleeding and not just out of my ears. Base color is easy but the trim work kicks my butt.
I keep trying though, someday I may get the hang of it.
