When I reach the  time of painting my ZodiacXL, I am thinking of using a scheme like the one in  the attachment.  My question to all of you is, does anyone know where I can  get plastic strips like the ones shown on the Zodiac from Germany shown in the  attachment.  It looks like two strips of plastic with alternating red and  white squares about 2 inchs by 2 inches.  If anyone know where to buy  material like I have described please contact me off net.

Bob,

 Is it possible that it is just paint?

Dan,

      I have no idea  because the aircraft is in Germany.  I have checked on having it done with  paint and it's very expensive that way.

Seems like you could do this with masking tape pretty easily. I imagine you could even fade it by doing multiple rows and going successively thinner. It would look nice that way. I have thought a lot about paint schemes myself. I would like to play with some techniques I’ve seen. I saw a guy lay down a base coat, then mask off some stripes, but before he laid down the second coat of some kind of transparent color, he laid lace fabric on top and shot the color through it. It looked really cool.

Hey Bob,



What you're talking about is pressure sensitive vinyl graphics. There are several sites on the internet that sell them. Check out this site as an example.

We did the "stars & bars, USAF", tail shield (561st Ftg Squ.) & pilot 

lettering in the vinyl stuff. We got ours custom made & sized to fit at our 

local sign maker shop. Cheap & easy to install. HRII N561FS KABONG

Vinyl graphic works very good. I had my call letters (Canada) made by a sign

shop and applied it on my fabric plane. It's been 3 years now and it never

moved. Cheap too.

Hope this helps

Dear Jean Paul,

I need Canadian Registration letters for my American CH2000.   Could you 

please send me directly the address and phone number of the shop you used 

and what they charged.   My family & I speak French so dealing with  a 

Quebec business would not be a problem for me.

Hi Kevin,

      If you can find a  picture of what you describe in the last part of your message, I sure would like  to see it.  I think that is how the paint job was on that ZodiacXL in  Germany.

I wish I had a picture of it myself. I can’t remember where I saw it. It was a few year ago before I started building. It was probably one of the Car building shows like American Hotrod or Pimp My Ride or some such. It was very subtle though because he sprayed a coat or two, very lightly, of semi transparent over the lace pattern which softened it. I’ve got a look in mind that would not be too difficult and very subtle but sharp looking.
