Mirco Pecorrari: paint scheme designer

[pierre smith]

A friend of mine, actually, two friends of mine, used the Italian gentleman, Mirco Pecorrari, to design their paint schemes. In this picture of Greg Connell's RV-10, with Ed Booth on his wing, was designed by Mirco. Through Skype, emails and phone calls, they arrived at this paint design. If you look carefully, you can see a palm tree on the far wing as well:



When it's finalized, Mirco will send you a CD which the painter takes to a sign shop and prints all the masking to exactly match the design and applies it to the airplane.

He also designed Gary Ward's paint scheme on his MX-2 airshow airplane. Others include Nemesis and other famous airplanes and cars.

The paint schemes he did are very impressive. It also include the Skip Stewart's plane.
I'm really thinking about making my 8 paint scheme with him, it's not really cheap but Wow... It worth it

Mirco is indeed a very talented designer. Gary Ward's airplane has my favorite airshow plane paint scheme. However Mirco is very very expensive, especially when you take the Euro exchange rate into account. Another less expensive alternative but equally talented is the team at Scheme Designers. I cannot say enough great things about them. They were able to pull my own ideas out of my head I didn't even know I had. The end result was a dream come true. They are very capable and a sincere pleasure to work with. Their signature swoops are very popular, but they are also capable of doing very different things. It is some of the best money I have spent on my airplane!

Best,

Based on the paint scheme, I'd guess Mr. Connell is from South Carolina.

Twin Lakes airpark (S17), just across the Savannah river into S. Carolina from Augusta, Ga.

My daughter is also an accomplished paint scheme designer and is available for hire if interested. Here is a sample of her work:

I am very pleased with his approach and his design work.

Mirco is very talented, and does a lot more than just paint schemes.

Unfortunately he gets ripped off a lot. This is one of the better known examples, a fantasy "GeeBee R3" giant scale RC kitted in Europe.



Anyway, please remember there's a difference between looking at a pro's work as inspiration for your own fresh design, and "borrowing" a design.

BTW, I'm pretty sure a friend bought the rights to build a full size R3.

These are all nice designs, but in addition to the extra design cost, you have the increased painting (or vinyl stick-ons) cost.

I've wondered if an asymmetrical design would look good...I get tired of seeing all the symmetrical looks.
