I've seen the stock grey and red canopies for the Sky Shark and Diablo. Has anyone gone off the beaten path and custom painted their canopies? I'd love to see some pictures.
Thanks.

I'm in the process of doing just that, but I'm not an artistic person so I don't know how it'll come out. I'm going to learn to use an airbrush first. My plan is to use a red, orange, and yellow flame theme in an attempt to make the canopy more visible to help with orientation.

I am doing up my plastic one. It is bright yellow with a big red Biohazard symbol on it. I'll take a pic as soon as I finish the symbol. I wanted something I could see at a distance, and yellow does pretty good at that.

Jason and Alan,
When you're done, could you post pictures?

It may be awhile, but I will post pics when I'm done.

Here it is. Not difficult to do, just paint and I drew and cut the Biohazard symbol out of vinyl and applied. Now I will be able to see the thing.

Jason,
That looks very nice.
I may have to try something like that with mine.
Thanks

I got a little colorful last night. I painted the black canopy last week. I think the black one is my favorite so far.
I'll paint the windshield part white for visual contrast. Then I'll add some stickers to make it interesting.

I like the shade of blue, the black has a bit of stealth to it, and the purple one is, well, purple. Looks good...

I might order up a few more canopies to paint. I gotta get my canopy fix!
