So you need something painted, or repainted. This is what we need from you, before anybody will even look at what you want or need painted.

We have great painters here, and can do just about any kind of paint you want done. Whether original, or a copy of the real thing. But for anybody to paint something, we need some info. The below, is what a painter WILL need, in order to paint your request.

Painters do it for the fun, joy, and challenge. They will spend alot of time on it, to make it the best they can. This is time, that could be used to do something else more important. They do it for free, and ask for nothing in return. So if you want something painted, give him/her a break. Give them what they need by links if possible. If painting was easy, you would be doing it. But it isn't, it is work. Don't make more work for a painter, by making him/her have to search for what he needs, to get what you need done.

WHAT A PAINTER NEEDS FROM YOU!!

1: Can he fly it??? If you want a payware painted, the painter must have that exact payware aircraft. If he doesn't have it, more than likely, he won't paint it. They also will not buy it, just to paint one. If it is freeware, then include a link to the flyable version of what you need painted. Painters need to be able to fly it, so they can see the work they have done. Without a flyable aircraft, a painter cannot tell if all the lines or paints line up as they should. As well as where they should.

2: You should know what type and model you want painted. IE: Boeing 747-100, 747-400.

3: Who made it, or who is the author of the aircraft. IFDG, POSKY, etc.

4: Is there a paint kit for what you want painted??? This is very important. If there is no "paint kit" or template, then please try to find the version with the least amount of "art" on it to reduce the chances of artifacts and errors in the final product.

5: Pics and/or diagrams. You need to be specific in what you want done. The more, the merrier.

6: LINKS, LINKS, LINKS. Post up any and all possible links that you can. This imeans the original flyable aircraft, the paint kit, and pics of the real thing. If it is an original, then post up what you envision for your paint job.

Remember, YOU want or need it. Nobody from the great blue sky, is going to upload what you want or need.
