May 9, 201214 yr It would take someone used to painting the NGX a lot of trial and error to line up all those individual leaves so they looked correctly. I'm not saying it could not be done. I'm sure there are a lot more talented people out there than me. At this point, I'm not willing to taking it on. The biggest challenge painters face is coming up with the artwork in a large enough size so it can be applied and manipulated. The individual section files are 4096 X 4096 pixels. Even these older liveries I have been doing are challenging because you have to find logos large enough where their edges will be smooth when used. Not making excuses...just letting you know the challenges. The Hapag-Lloyd paints took me just a few days to do 90% of the livery. The lower rear section where the checkerboard comes together took me several days of tweaking just to do that small area. It is a neat livery and one that would look great on any of the NGX models. I understand Great shots Chris !
May 9, 201214 yr What's the going rate to paint a livery? You're talking Depression-Era wages (or less).
May 9, 201214 yr Christmas came early in the form of an official Pantone color mix in my email. Trying it out on various repaints. Chris, Those colors and the finish looks very nice! Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)
May 9, 201214 yr Is there any chance that someone could do a 737-900 Delta repaint? It is fictional but since Delta just ordered a bunch of -900's, I thought it would be interesting to see how it looks in the sim.
May 9, 201214 yr Great shots Chris ! Those colors and the finish looks very nice! Thank you! I was planning to fly this evening, but I can't stop looking at it from the outside long enough to get my pre flight done. :Hypnotized: Ben, I'll check my Delta 700/800 repaints and see if they could be easily converted to the -900. I've never loaded up the -900 before. That would give me an excuse. Chris Hicks

I probably won't be touching a paint project until Sunday. Have the world's largest kayak fishing tournament Saturday and I'm pre-fishing Friday as well. My next few nights are preparation nights! LOL. I will still check the forum off and on. Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)
May 9, 201214 yr Thank you, Rhen! I probably won't be touching a paint project until Sunday. Have the world's largest kayak fishing tournament Saturday and I'm pre-fishing Friday as well. My next few nights are preparation nights! LOL. I will still check the forum off and on. That sounds awesome! Take pics if you can! I've never done anything like that. Chris Hicks
