John,
I like your first iteration as it's something I've not seen before.
Going forward, I'd suggest the paint be one that can be easily touched
up. The colors, if in a urethane
hard finish, be a compatible type of paint that offers a matching color.
The hardest colors to match are seldom found in small spray bottles. If
not a urethane,
a acrylic enamel per Bingilis book recommendations. I picked an off
pale yellow which has been hard to match with a compatible touch-up and
the original process
was a very intensive operation I'd not like to repeat. Just a thought.

metal, wire, batterys, color of Scotch Brite, rivets or clecos or even
the Matco tubeless tires. I have been working on my paint design. This
has been an interesting process filled with frustration.
There are two ideas that I have been iterating on. The first is the
one that I want to make work, but have been having problems getting to
look "right": http://marzulliphoto.net/photos/771236046_Vk8F4-L.jpg
It is based on Costal Salish art. The goal was to make a highly
visible aircraft that would stand out against the water, trees and
mountains of the area while using traditional NW Indian colors.
The concept is very appealing to me, but I am really having a hard
time getting it tied together.
The other design a "backup" based on D-Day invasion stripes and a
shark's mouth: http://marzulliphoto.net/photos/765696683_m7jdv-M.jpg
If anyone has some knowledge of graphic design or Costal Salish art,
please contact me. If you have any ideas on how to make the design
better, please share them.

Many thanks in advance!
