If AA were to change their livery….

Cool

Any larger pics? I’d like to see exactly how that machine works.

Thanks for the comments folks.

Thank to rekkof for his input into the Bare metal look.

2nd one is the best

1st and 2nd would bea huge improvement

No just Polished and not metel but aluminium.
and the compositos component’s are Rudder ,Elevators ,Flaps ect

I thought the F100s where painted silver? After all, the plane is made of composites, not metal!

The FOKKER F100’s from AA and USairways were just Polished,
the cigar [fuselage] were first Polished with a Robot. After painting ,were re Polished with the hand, very hard work for the ones doing the belly.
No UVR Lacquer/varnis applied.
USair were re Polished after so many flights.

All 3 Livery’s are great.
The third is the best.

Polished skin saves on weight.

I would like AA to ditch the all silver body and go for something new, bear, and cheap (in painting costs) though classy. I am bored of all this widespread paint.

I like the 3rd one. The first one reminds me of Air Transat’s old livery.

That last one is great! Only other titles and that blueish/reddish at the tail, no.

Thanx Folks 😀

I like the 3rd one too. Good job Sandy

brilliant i prefer the 2nd and 3rd the best

Bloddy hell in the first one how are they going to make a see thru plane 😮 you know something boeing havent told us yet?

I think the AA livery is simple but nice, your version retains the polished look which is Americans trade mark, well done Sandy

another, fancyfull design. Bit more “whacky”

Is the price of paint the same for every color or sort? A car with metal color costs more.

Thanks Sandy. Do you you if this process is cheaper than painting?

I do prefer the first one. Both are nice anyway.

By the way a stupid question:
The bared metal of AA’s c/s is it really bared metal or silver paint ?

BAre metal, no paint apart from the stripes.
Technically its actualy lacquered metal. Bare metal would rust quickly.
The metal is polished then coated with a lacquer, a varnish in leymans terms.
