I have painted several airliners, mainly 747`s. Used a paintgun the size of a high pressure wand. Covered 2 to 3 ft wide spray pattern in one pass. Took 5 gals of paint just to fill the supply line Whew, looking at that pic, makes me glad I retired LOL.

Airbrush would take too long!! I'm just gonna hook my garden hose up to a 5 gallon bucket of paint.

Hey Lawdawg; Let us know how the maiden goes! Be sure to take your camera.
Seems like I remember reading that there is 1200 pounds of paint on a 747?, that number sticks out maybe it was 1200 gallons to cover it?...Rog
