I know this question has probably already been asked...I want to start doing repaints for fs2002 and I was wondering, what program would be the best to use for it? Also if you have any good tips for me, I could use them.

Paint Shop Pro is used by many Painters, as well as PhotoShop.I personally like Paint Shop Pro better then PhotoShop, however, it usually is more of a personal preference thing.There are many tutorials on the Internet about using Paint Shop Pro to repaint aircraft. Some of which making Painting Aircraft by using layers, a very easy task to do. And then you can save the Layers for future paints of aircrafts, so painting they becomes easier and easier.If you have the opertunity, I would suggest you sample many painting programs and choose one that suits you best. ;-)
