Hi Dan.
Normally I will try to help out even if I don't know much about a particular area but my lack of paint skills are legendary, so I am going to have to leave it to somebody who can at least use a paint package to explain it.

Welcome to MAIW Dan,
Repainting aircraft looks pretty daunting at first glance. But I think all the painters will agree with me that once you learn, you'll be fine. The other thing is ...you're always learning new things.
There are alot of tutorials on how to paint. While each author has his/her own style, they all are pretty much the same.
Here is a link that will help you get started. Garry is one of the finest repainters in our hobby...--->>

We here at MAIW are lucky enough to have available the services of Graham King. Without a doubt Graham is one of the most prolific repainters this hobby has ever seen. It's rumored that he has cloned himself countless times in order to produce hundreds of repaints in mere hours.
Anyway, don't hesitate to ask questions. You'll find everyone here at MAIW to be friendly and helpful...OK...most of us are. Right Des?
Once again. WELCOME and don't be a stranger.
