The covering was done with monokote. I used Paintshop Pro to create my patterns and then printed them out. After taping the multiple printouts needed, I taped them together and cut out my pattern to trace onto the monokote. The monokote was then cut out with a sharp exacto and positioned using the windex application technique. Once the windex had dried I used my iron to ensure everything was sealed permanently.

The monokote colors were metallic blue for the base covering, metallic teal for the middle pattern, and pearl white for the topmost pattern.

I got the inspiration for the cover design from [link=http://www.airbornekustomz.com/aircraft/N274US2.jpg]Airbonne Kustomz[/link]. Those guys do some amazing work.
