Aircraft paint scheme designer offers stained glass art option
Two leaders in aircraft decoration and aviation art have combined forces, offering owners high-quality glass-panel artwork of their new paint schemes. Craig Barnett of Scheme Designers Inc., the premier custom aircraft paint scheme design company, announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007 his company is giving customers another way to depict their aircraft by teaming with the leading aviation-themed glass artist Gary Elshoff of Flying Colors Glass LLC. Together, the two companies will design and assemble colorful stained-glass window panels literally reflecting a new paint scheme’s special qualities and styling.

The new partnership brings together two of the most successful visual art talents in the aviation community. Barnett’s Scheme Designers is widely acknowledged as the market leader in creating paint scheme layouts and color combinations for almost every type of aircraft in use today. In addition to working with new airplane manufacturers, Scheme Designers offers custom design and repaint specifications for existing aircraft. Meanwhile, Elshoff has created a niche all his own in the aviation art world by applying his skills as a stained-glass craftsman to the world of planforms and airfoils in a most original expression of flight.

As a result of the new partnership, Scheme Designers customers can now order a custom-designed glass panel "echoing" their new paint work as part of a design package.

Details of the two companies’ offerings will be posted on their respective websites: www.SchemeDesigners.com and www.FlyingColorsGlass.com. Scheme Designers Inc. can be found in Exhibit Hangar C in Booth 3042, while Flying Colors Glass LLC will be in the Fly Market, 772.
