Nose Art Process

We can provide examples of all tyes of historical nose art, or design an image that incorporates your particular interests. Once you select a design and surface (an aircraft versus a free hanging panel or jacket) we'll either provide an immediate quote or a written estimate with a proposed schedule.

If we're painting on your aircraft, we determine where implementation will occur. If possible, we will remove aircraft panel (s) and ship it to our studio, to reduce travel costs. Better yet, why not fly to Cable Airport for a quick turnaround?. (Call ahead to ensure you have hangar space waiting). If we work offsite, schedule arrangements are made to complete the artwork over a two-three day timeframe.

We use computer-created masks for surface preparation and image placement. CAUTION! on some aircraft where the base paint history is unknown or looks to be unstable, some techniques will be unavailable, to ensure no damage to surrounding paintwork.

Enamels with airbrushing require cure times between coats, so most artwork requires a minimum of two working days to complete., We can also coordinate with your paint shop for the best time to apply the nose art (following application of the primer coat).
