Custom Aircraft Livery Takes Center Stage at AirVenture 2019

It will be a busy time in Oshkosh for Scheme Designers. In addition to hosting the 5thAnnual Scheme Designers Scavenger Hunt and greeting existing customers and long-time friends and family, Scheme Designers will showcase over 13,000 custom paint schemes completed on hundreds of makes and models of aircraft at their booth in Hangar C, Booth 3056. 

The hunt is on for Scheme Designers aircraft art

The popular Scheme Designers Scavenger Hunt is on again at Oshkosh 2019. The Scavenger Hunt will take participants in a search across the display grounds in search of aircraft sporting a Scheme Designers paint scheme and special logo sticker. Entry forms can be picked up at the Scheme Designers Sun ‘n Fun Booth (Hangar C, Booth 3056), and must be returned to the booth no later than 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, 2019. One point will be awarded for each aircraft found with the Scheme Designers livery and logo sticker. The entry form with the highest number of points wins a custom desktop model from Factory Direct Models (Hangar A, Booth 1151-1152), worth more than $500.

Players should check the Scheme Designers Facebook page regularly where several clues per day will be posted about the location of the stickers. “Like” and follow the Scheme Designers Facebook page to receive notifications as they happen. The hunt is limited to aircraft “within the fence” or on formal display at AirVenture.

Players can pick up a scavenger hunt form at the Scheme Designers AirVenture Booth 3056 in Hangar C, and should jot down the make, model and registration number for each display aircraft on which they find the Scheme Designers sticker. Completed forms must be returned to the Scheme Designers booth (Hangar C, Booth 3056) BY 4 p.m., SATURDAY, JULY 27, 2019. A prized custom desktop model from Factory Direct Models (Hangar A, Booth 1151-1152), worth more than $500, is the grand prize.

Scheme Designers Owner and Chief Designer, Craig Barnett, will host three free workshops at AirVenture 2018. In his interactive sessions, he will share critical guidelines and best design practices for a variety of makes and models of aircraft, for owners and companies to use when designing their new aircraft livery and in choosing paint shops. Mr. Barnett’s world renowned workshop is presented in a dynamic, engaging, educational and entertaining, graphic-rich and visually stimulating media.

The interactive workshops include use of hundreds of photos and design renderings illustrating best practices for aircraft paint scheme design. The workshop will assist customers in navigating the process to develop their paint scheme and see it through to reality, including criteria to choosing the right paint shop for you.

The workshops are well known as educational, unique and entertaining sessions. Attendees will never look at aircraft paint schemes, or paint shops, the same way again, and will come away well equipped to develop designs for their own aircraft, and to make decisions about how to pick the right paint shop partners for them.
