Full Custom Aircraft Exterior Design
Where Creativity, Precision & Aviation Expertise Come Together
Your aircraft’s exterior is the first impression it makes—and it should tell a story that is unmistakably yours. A full custom aircraft exterior design goes far beyond choosing colors or striping. It is a detailed, technical, and artistic process that transforms your aircraft into a personalized statement of identity, professionalism, and style.
At Flight Lines Design, we specialize in creating fully custom paint schemes that are tailored to your taste, aircraft model, flying mission, and long-term maintenance needs. With 15+ years of aviation-specific design experience, we understand how to balance aesthetics with aerodynamic lines, paint shop realities, regulatory constraints, and the unique geometry of each aircraft.
A Creative Process Built for Aircraft Precision
Unlike traditional design work, aircraft exterior design requires a deep understanding of shape, lighting, proportion, and technical limitations.
Step 1: Discovery & Inspiration
We begin with a conversation to understand your personal style, color preferences, and the impression you want your aircraft to make. Whether you prefer subtle sophistication or a bold, modern presence, your vision shapes the direction of the project.
Step 2: Concept Development
We present multiple unique design concepts, each crafted from scratch—not recycled templates. These concepts highlight line flow, color combinations, and how the scheme interacts with the aircraft’s body.

•A great exterior design must look stunning and stand the test of time.
We consider:
• UV and sunlight fade resistance
• Long-term maintenance
• Cleanability and visibility of streaks
• Paint system durability
• Metallic vs. solid color performance
• Ease of repainting in the future
Every design balances long-term performance with luxury aesthetics.
Testimonials
Posted on Will HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed help visualizing my paint idea and flightlines did a wonderful job making that happen. Not only was the turnaround fast, the communication was easy, and the pricing was very reasonable. Robert did a great job taking my description and turning it into a professional looking drawing, which helped me make an informed decision on paint design. He used actual paint codes from a paint supplier so I could compare paint colors. I highly recommend flight lines and I will definitely be using them for my future projects.Posted on Andrew YerglerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

They really listened to what we wanted, helped with choosing the colors, and came up with a design that was perfect for us. The plane came out just how we wanted.Posted on Darrone MassicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert was most pleasant and easy to work with.
