What about the JP painted in Mr Blobby colours. I'm sure someone more tallented than I can find a pic.

The Orange Braniff 747 comes a close second.

eharding.... At least I don't fly around with a big shiney tomatoe on my head. When we land in the barren sandy wastes of Scotland being chased by machette wealding Al Quaeda I'll be undetectable hiding in the sand dunes and be able to sneak back to Tobermory alive for guinness, haggis and medals.... You clearly didn't think of that when you bought you boiler suit grey plumbers outfit. Ha!

Hmmm... Clearly Wide-Body and eharding are colour blind. My suit is khaki with a touch of oil stain. Just right for those beaches.

Please tell me that Aeronca is photoshopped??

Okay, to continue the pink paint theme.... Here is a British Airways Flying Club Warrior promoting the Breast Cancer Awareness charity. It was given a temporary repaint for Pink Day at Wycombe Air Park.

Here it is seen en route from WAP in its modified 'World Flag' colour scheme to Mick Allen's paint shop from which it emerged in the 'Chatham Dockyard' scheme.

It's khaki. The others are jealous of it.

The worst paint that I ever had the misfortune to see was a Seneca that was painted brown & cream, the thing looked like a Great Western railway carrage.

The unfortunate bit was that I was checking the aircraft out for a perspective buyer and the sellers had got the aircraft painted to increase the chances of a sale. The paint was very good from a technical pooint of veiw but what an asithetic mistake!!
