At 28 yrs old....she deserved a little nip tuck

Love my 1992 6A....It is not new, so I thought a little facelift ( paint and vinyl striping) might be fun. Repainted the entire tail ( vertical, horizontal stab , rudder and elevator) new N numbers on rudder, painted leg fairings, wheel pants, cowl and spinner. This week I put on the striping I purchased from Aerographics. I like the new clean look. Now what to do on the spinner ? Gotta have some red there for visual balance . 😉

Spinner

Wow, I think the new look is great, it has transformed the plane, very classy indeed!
How about a red and white checkerboard for the spinner? There have been other posts on VAF about how to do this.
Looking forward to seeing the next stage....
 
Spinner

I vote yes to the red spinner. With the red wing tips and tail trim, a red spinner
will pull the visual together.
 
Look .... lipstick !!
