A while back I decided to try and give my plane a smoked metallic look. So all I did was spray two light coats of aluminum lustrekote, letting each coat dry before reapplying. i think it came out great and get alot of compliments at the field. I would guess regular colors would give the same effect as long as its kept light. I am planning on giving it a shot on the next plane. I would practice first. I plan on using clear juice or soda bottles cut in half as my dummy canopy to try first. See if you like, and if it works....just do it!


Tip: For a little extra detail...maybe try using a Vinyl mask of some sort prior to painting. Whether it be pilot name or whatever. See pic.
