A good graphic artist will bill from $50-$100/hr. I can see 2 professional schemes taking at least a couple of hours each. Your best bet would be to go to your local print shop and see what they can do for you. You need to have someone outline the aircraft and then save it out in a file format that a vinyl shop can use. Adobe Illustrator will be your best bet.

Of course you can do something really basic on the cheap, but you'll get what you pay for.

chances of them picking what you come up with are probably pretty slim. They guys in the marketing department will more than likely have the say in which scheme gets chosen

i guess i need more thoughts or what you guys think would look cool, more so than someone to sit down and design something that would take a long time and effort. i wouldnt ask for someone to work for free. but for a couple of thoughts or ideas shouldnt be that bad huh.. just a push start sort of i dont have to have it on paper just in the mind
