I know they’re not going Eurowhite, hence the title of this thread 😉 “not going Eurowhite for new Livery”

I’m just reacting to info given to me by a contact. I’ve developed a few since I began delving into the livery design business.

This livery may not even come about. It may look entirely different to what i have illustrated. I don’t know. Nothing is for certain in todays airline world.

I am fully aware how long it can take to paint an entire fleet. It’s no simple task. The average enthusiasts thinks that airlines just pluck a plane out of the fleet and paint it, but we all know here thats not the way it works. If or when UA paint an aircraft in any new colours, it’ll be whatever happens to be sitting in heavy maintenance at the time.

At the end of the day, a paint scheme resembling the one I illustrate above would bring about a lot of savings for UA 🙂

Ok time to put you out of your misery.

Pic2: Boeing 757-200…… From LTE.

I agree that UA already have a good scheme, however this is costing them a hell of a lot of money everytime an aircraft need repainting.
Coloured paint is a lot of money in aviation, say £30 a litre.
White paint is cheap and happens to be very tough.

Using an all white, or half white design cuts down on the amount of coloured painted used.

For example, a plain white 757…. about £40-50,000.
A 757 painted in current UAL scheme: Well in excess of £70-80,000

Take those savings, multiply it by UALS fleet size and you soon run into millions.
