Ok I know its probably been asked before but I'm asking again for opinions on the best paint job you have seen on a Helicopter.
All opinions appreciated. Needing some ideas for my helicopter .

Come on I know someone has an opinion .

Paint is too personal, it depends what you like? If I were you I would start thinking of the theme of your machine.... do you want it to be pretty? do you want it to be tough? Do you want it to look like a GA chopper or a military style? Do you want it to be flashy or functional? There is so many variations to try to come up with one without seeing the finished machine IMO....

I guess looking around at the colors cars are coming out in these days and see if there is anything you like the look of?

There is nothing wrong with white, with colored areas of your choice in parts, or even wrap is good these days

What colors do you have in mund? What color is the other one in your pictures beside yours?

.

This is one of my favorites

Built by Justin Travis a few years ago

The way the doghouse is "blacked Out" accentuates the fuselage

I like the red what shade of red you think that is?

Here is a few options to really confuse you

Thanks

I actually like the blue in your avatar pic

If you paint the doghouse black and the bottom black (or wrap like carbon fiber) then you can change the colour on the rest of it if you first pick a color you decide you don't like?

I think if it were me, I would paint it white and wrap it

Can someone tell me what color they think this is ...I like the bright colors .

It is an unusual red isn't it? Hopefully Arnie will look soon, he is pretty big on paint

It looks to be like a Ferrari red with white added.... to give it that milky look.... it is almost orange:noidea

Day glow orange or insignia orange , A hi vis color for artic opperations

Hanks Helicycle will be painted the same as Stan's helicycle only this color

That's a beautiful machine... Love the paint!!

It is a typical GM Red used thru the 2000's and probably still today.

We like red too !!! The car is still in the family , it gets sold back and forth between nephews .... and my brothers new trucks are always the same red .

However when I look back ... most of my vehicles were blue so that must actually be my favorite color ... I like the blue on the Cobra body posted above.

Anyway ... here is GM's version of Ferrari Red ... seeing as Ferrari themselves will not sell the paint unless you provide a serial number for a Ferrari and show you are repairing one .... I know because I tried

I have never done vinyl wrap myself but we are having some discussions about it here ....

Jess this is PMS 185 red.
Ferrari seems to like it

John I tried to match your green here

Gabs, you could reduce that and it would be a great emoticon for the heli boys

That would be theft......

And?

Think of it more as..... say, borrowing from an appreciative (or else) new member

Besides, it has already been stolen and repainted red and green??
