You need photoshop to do repaints. You can't just use 'Paint' that comes with windows.Mike Brown

Technically, you can, But they dont come out looking too hot. :)Have you tried the aircraft repainting forum here on the AVSIM Forum?They have tons of help over there! :)http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=200

I use a freeware program called GIMP. It is just as good as Photoshop.Randy Oldfield

Well it can't be as good as photoshop .. lol .. but it's pretty good for it's basic functions and if you don't own Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, GIMP is a good way to go.

Gimp is nice but by far no photoshop ;-)Andr

Hi FolksThanks for the advice, I will give Gimp a try and see how I get on. I looked a photoshop pro but before i fork out vast sums I want to see if I have the neccessary flare :-)RegardsPaulh
