painted a canopy

I also just wanted to mention that this is the first time I've ever painted a canopy using an airbrush, so the results aren't perfect, but I'm happy with how it turned out.


So you want to paint your rc helicopter canopy instead of paying a professional For the cost of a professionally painted canopy, you can buy a basic airbrush system and the supplies to paint your own and still come out ahead.Most of the same steps can be used for painting fiberglass canopies - I'll mention any differences as we go.


Along the way, I've developed a new found respect for airbrush artists… rc helicopter canopy painting can be decisively simple or a complex art depending on the angle of attack you choose.


Even though I'm using an airbrush and compressor, this can all be done with spray can paint though it's harder to get as nice of finish.
