Aerostar/Superstar 700

This VA based Aerostar client chose to use a sharply contrasting black split base with simple elegant gold stripes, giving his aircraft a tasteful, executive appearance.  The tail lends a bit more pizzazz to the scheme, balancing the conservative fuselage design.

Dear Craig,

Please accept my heart-felt thanks for the wonderful job you did on the
paint scheme for my Aerostar.

As I told you when we began this project, I¹m a designer by trade - my
company develops and implements designs for newspapers such as the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch, The Hartford Courant and the Portland Press-Herald - so I was
intrigued with the notion of being the client rather than the designer on a
project. I wasn¹t sure whether my experience with the design process would
serve as a help or hindrance to you.

But you never disappointed me. I was impressed with your good judgment and
expertise, your quick response to all my concerns and your willingness to
pursue details to the nth degree.

I tell my clients that good design is a good investment. It represents a
small portion of any budget but has a greater dollar-for-dollar effect on
the outcome of any project.

Painting my airplane will cost between $15,000 and $20,000. Your fee
represents a small portion of the total cost but your work added
immeasurably to the value of my aircraft.

I¹d recommend you to anyone considering new paint for their aircraft,
regardless of the size of the plane or their budget for paint.
