Here is my first try.
Very happy with the result.

I got one more canopy to paint. Can't wait to give it a try

Very clean and nice. Should look nice in the air. How did you do the TREX on the side? Mask off the words before painting? How did you get them so regular?

Thanks.
The lettering was done by first applying the yellow and then masking off the letters before applying the red.

Did you use a sticker, hand cut masking, die cut masking? What did you use?

Sorry, forgot about this thread.
I printed the T-rex logo from the computer.
On the printed paper i taped som waxed paper and on the paper i taped som masking tape (don't know if thats the correct english word for it The tape is used for masking when you're painting).

The printed logo was visible through the masking tape, and the waxed paper. Using a ruler and a sharp knife i traced the logo on the masking tape. I lifted the cut out leters from the waxed paper and attached them to the canopy before applying the red color.

When the red color had dried i removed the letters.
