Thanks Cory... Started with the Dego Red and stripped and completely recovered...all covering except bottom which was an automotive paint. Flames scaled from real dego red and then had local sign guy whip them off. Yellow and White stripe is over cover cut to shape and laid down.... Used soap to move decals while putting on. Took quite the effort and became a hanger queen so decided to do the Red Bull and try paint over the covering...Wanted to do quicker and use as practice plane. Used 2 different paints to get blue then combination of paint...yellow and silver and the rest are all hand cut decals except for the Red Bull words....Had those made at local sign shop. Hand cut...ya I know what you are thinking...The winter is long and I wanted to give it a try. Definitely easier to have a sign guy do but was rewarding when done.
