Default Vinyl Graphics

I'm thinking seriously about painting the my RV white myself and putting a graphic on it. Here's a vinyl graphic design that Scott Binder came up with for me. I LIKE IT!

Default You'll like it!

And, hey, if you don't like it, you can change it! I did it with my 9A and am very happy. I even put small graphics on the end of the steps to match the wheel pants. I did vinyl on the wingtips, which is kinda difficult but doable. Also vinyl on all the rudder. Very versatile stuff. I bought the computerized cutter and have done a couple of planes.

As an aircraft painter I have to vote thumbs down on vinyl. My kids need shoes. Help a brotha out.

I kinda like it. "Tower, RV niner niner triple niner is nine miles out for landing runway niner." It sounds very aviation.

I had a customer who wanted his N-number to be N99. It was already taken so he chose N199. He just liked to say niner-niner.

The vinyl lays down very nicely right over the rivets.


Great design! That looks very nice!
