• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

The paint scheme for my Rearwin uses outlined stripes and N-numbers. I've found good info on the outlined stripes but nothing on the numbers. I've got a vinyl cutter so I can make whatever paint masks I need. Even Aerographics was no help. I assume at least 2 masks are needed with registration marks. I can think of a couple ways. Mask and paint the outline color and then mask over that to paint the number. Or the reverse... Or??? What's the preferred process? Just saw a beautiful example on the Hatz thread but didn't want to hijack that. That's what I'd like to achieve. Covering is Stits with Aerothane topcoat if it matters. Any suggestions?
