REFLECTOR: Painting

[Terry Miles]

Another method is stencils.  Race cars use them.  This has to be done
ideally when you are first painting the whole airplane.  

Steps are this:  We painted a general area where the decoration would go in
the color that it is to be.  Blue in my case.  Then a stencil goes down like
a mask.  Then the area is painted in it's final color coat.  Then the
stencil is peeled off and thrown away.  Then all is clear coated.  I would
guess there are methods for already painted airplanes.  I didn't ask.  

It worked great.  I have contact info for a stencil guy.  He had to modify
the Picaso by hand.  Rocinante was Don Quixote's horse.  Once it was done, I
have several extra stencils basically for the cost of the paper.  

Side Note:  I am not solicting.  Also you'd have to work the details, but
for the time being anyway there is a possibility of using a combination of
energies to have an airplane painted here in Greenville at a local shop run
by these same NASCAR guys.  I am not encouraging or discouraging, but I can
assist with contact info.  Painting an airplane is an enormous task anyway
you cut it.
