Paint

Try fades and simple graphics to start with. It is harder than it may seem to emulate automotive graphics and downsize them to R/C heli scale. Let your imagination go and see what you end up with.

Most canopy painters are using high dollar vinyl graphics cutters to create thier patterns and some of them are clear coating over vinyl. Try to keep yours all paint, it looks cleaner (IMHO.)

Keep it fun. Good Luck.
