Aircraft Painting

[TAV1702]

I was wondering if anyone out there could teach me how to paint aircraft. My graphics skills have never been good and I am not real good at images.

I do have adobe photoshop 8 and adobe photoshop elements as well as paint shop pro 9.

I have tried to do aircraft before but never could figure it out. If anyone wished to teach me that would be awesome. Oh I also have some converter that you have to have to do it as well. I even tried to follow along with the tutorials at gjsmith.net

Not sure what I could ever do to return the favor as I am a broke college man with 3 kids to take care of, but I am always good for something.

Let me know. If not that's cool too.

Hey TAV,

I have a gudie from someone that taught me how to repaint an aircraft even the guide is followed by posky 777-300. Let me find it in my PC and i'll let you know.

Also i use photoshop CS5........

still no luck, I have a 2 TB Hard Drive and i have over 900GB of files, but i'll keep looking for it.

Sorry TAV. I can't find this Really Good Guide to repaint.

But I'll see if i can get another copy........

It REALLY helps if the aircraft has a good paintkit already. Here are a couple links to how to paint:

I do paints...and won't charge....what do you need?

Hi guys sorry I am so dam slow lately on replies. Busy as hell now days. Haven't been around the vms site much at all lately.

I'll get with everyone who wanted a pm. And I was looking for no aircraft in particular at all. I just was wanting to learn how to do it. I tried a couple times before and the results were a little less than desireable.

Nice job.

[TAV1702]

Nothing in particular. Was just looking to learn. I have a guy that has been supposed to be doing them for me and he has given me 1 to put up on site in 6 months and it was not worth adding. Good thing me and him was good friends and I didn't pay him lol

We have so dam many aircraft going in that it isn't funny. My VA kind of never took off (no pun intended) so now it is basically a free for all between me and 6 others. It is a fun site though none the less.

Quick question, im doing a fictional repaint (so cant use photos to use) and i was wondering if anyone knows how to add scratch marks on the tail and "dirt" on the plane (like the way real planes are when they get older). This is proberl not the best way to explain it but i hope you get what i mean..

Thanks for any suggestions,

James
