Check out These Creative Paint Jobs on Various Aircrafts

Many aircraft owners customize their paint jobs so that their planes reflect their personalities. It’s a natural thing to do, and it makes for some wild photographs. Generally, standard airplanes just don’t cut it. While commercial versions may never depict such colors and styles, personal owners often want to do something imaginative and different.

Some of the aircraft are so innovative that it shocks others. To tell the truth, we were highly impressed! You can find all sorts of options, including private and jumbo jets. If the owner wants it, someone can design it. This is sure to be an exciting list!

Sea Turtles Flying

This is the first of three A380s for ANA (All Nippon Airways), and it just left the Hamburg, Germany Airbus Paintshop. You can see the Hawaiian sea turtles on it. All of the A380s should be painted and depict sea turtles native to the area.

Oh Canada

You see this Royal Canadian CF-18 Demo Jet for the Air Force. It has a beautiful maple leaf, and the plane is painted the hallmark red color of Canada. This plane was revealed at the 2017 RCAF Anniversary Air Show for the 150th anniversary.

No Cares

This Boeing 737-800 is painted just like a duck for Nokair. It’s a fun and crazy paint job, and the airline is famous for its innovative options. In fact, it has many planes painted to look like wildlife. Still, this is one of the coolest options.

The Roost

This single-prop aircraft holds two passengers and was shaped like a rooster and painted in its likeness. The jury says it’s the most amazing option, and the amount of detail is remarkable. Look closely to see the person piloting the plane wearing old-school gear!

Rainbow Jet

Dream Chaser 5 is the private jet you see below. In fact, the Lear Jet was donated by a management and aircraft charter called International Jet Aviation. It’s used primarily to fly ill children throughout the world to get wishes, so it’s got a special place in our hearts.

NATO Tiger Meet

During the ’03 NATO Tiger Meet, the world met this bad boy. The plane is a Mirage 2000RDI, and you can even see the slight glint in the eye of the tiger. Though this plane broke down and never flew its mission, it’s still amazing to see.

NATO Tiger Meet 2

You now see the Dassault Rafale M fighter jet, and it’s from France. This also features an artic tiger appearance. Is it intimidating? Yes! We love how the black and white make those red eyes pop. This was also painted for the NATO Tiger Meet.

Finding Nemo

If you have ever watched Finding Nemo, you understand what this plane is all about. Pink Aviation owns this beauty, which is located in the Czech Republic. The Short SC-7 Skyvan 3-100 might look odd, but you can’t think of anything but Nemo finding his friends.

A-10 Warthog Christmas

The Warthog is designed in battle-gray, but the Fairchild Republic A-10 wanted something different. It’s a personalized Warthog that definitely turns heads and features Christmas wreaths, reindeer, and the classic red/green color combination associated with the holidays.

The Angry A-10 Warthog

Most people love the A-10, but this one has a slight twist. It still features the olive-green color you’ve come to associate with fighter jets, but its nose got a paint job. These planes look mean and ready to take a bite out of the bad guys!

Gulfstream SexyJet

Clay Lacy Aviation owns the “SexyJet,” which is a chameleon-like color pattern. On the custom aircraft, you have a full-sized galley for hot/cold foods, fold-out work tables, power outlets for your equipment, and a private bathroom. It’s amazing!

Alien Tiger Hind

During the NATO Tiger Meet in 2016, you could have seen this aircraft. It was called “Tiger Hind” and won for the best-looking award. While it’s a helicopter, the custom paint job makes it one of the most amazing options we’ve seen all day.

Sukhoi Su-57

The Digi-camo paint job found on this Russian fighter jet might be the sleekest paint scheme so far. If you know the US Air Force well, you might have seen something similar on a USAF F-16. Regardless, it’s excellent and beautiful.

Duracell-Powered

We think this is a C-130 Hercules airplane, and you can see the amazing attention to detail that went into making it look like a Duracell battery. While it’s not super intricate like others, it’s still efficient and strange enough to make you stop for a second.

F-16 Fighter Jet from the Royal Netherlands

The Royal Netherlands Air Force has an aerobatics display team with many colorful planes. This one was used by the Demo team (which is no longer in service). Its orange tones make it quite impressive, and the man flying must be one of the top choices.

Mi-24V Hind from the Hungarian Air Force

The Mi-24 is a large artillery/attack helicopter, and the Hungarian Air Force chose to paint theirs to be slightly intimidating. It’s quite fun and appealing once you get over the shock of seeing an eagle  in the sky.

Star Wars

Nippon Airlines is definitely one of the top-rated for interesting. You can see the beautiful custom paint jobs on its commercial aircraft. There are three Star Wars-themed options. If you’re a fan, you might try and book one for your flight!

Southwest in Colorado

Southwest Airlines travels through Denver a lot, so it decided to create a plane designed for the trip. You can see the state flag of Colorado represented, and it might just be the crispest and cleanest aircraft so far.

Just Do It

Gulfstreams are the most expensive private jets, though they’re all high-priced. Regardless, this is a G550 that got an amazing paint job. You can see how the light shade at the nose changes to dark, and then the iconic symbol (Nike) is on the tail.

Disneyland and Alaska

Most people don’t associate Alaska with Disneyland, but the Alaska Airlines partnered with the top destination point in the world to commission a plane. You can see Tinkerbell and automatically can’t wait to get to the park for some fun.

Grizzly Bears and Sled Dogs

You can see that this plane loves everything about Alaska. This sled-dog and bear-like painting job is forward-thinking, to say the least. It’s always great to see commercial airliners do something unique and interesting!

Business End

The Warthog is one of the most intimidating aircraft options on the market. It’s the size of a small vehicle and is very bad news for the enemies. This one is painted with a snarl, so you know it wants to chomp up the bad guys and spit them out.

Lovely Teeth

We’re not sure what’s happening here, but this is a Skyvan 3-100 Short. You can clearly see the oversized teeth, there are weird lips, and this is an incredibly funky color scheme. Regardless, someone enjoyed crafting it, and the pilot doesn’t seem to mind!

The British Are Coming

You can see the British Aerospace Hawk T-1A here, and the UK Royal Air Force uses it. They definitely feel patriotic. This is a single-engine jet trainer built in Britain. The first was flown back in 1974, and it’s been used for training ever since!

Wings on the Wings

You can see the amazing bald eagle painted onto this F-15E fighter jet for the Oregon National Guard. This jet fighter focuses on superiority and has a perfect record for air-to-air combat. In 1972, the first one took off, and it’s been part of the fleet ever since.

Butterfly Effect

This is a beautiful aircraft painted to look like a butterfly and was made for a private prop aircraft in Arizona. The gradients of orange, yellow, and red contrast nicely with the wing angles of blue. It’s magnificent to behold!

Fastest Soda

The Concorde travels at Mach 2, but this Pepsi aircraft was a custom paint order, so it couldn’t actually travel that quickly. Planes must be white, so it can only go about 1.7 Mach. Still, that’s amazingly fast. We’re sure they serve Pepsi-Cola on the trip.

Toy Story

Those who love Buzz Lightyear are sure to appreciate the 30-foot mural of him on the side of this airplane. China Eastern Airlines partnered with Pixar to give one of its planes a makeover that looks stunning. Passengers receive themed boarding passes, too!

R2D2

You love Star Wars, but you might not have the funds to get something painted on a plane to depict it. Regardless, All Nippon Airways did just that. This airline launched the Star Wars-themed plane after it signed a licensing agreement with Disney.

Paint Splatters

Below, you see an M2 Charter Jet, which might be considered a private jet to some. Regardless, the painter couldn’t decide what they wanted, and you can see all the colorful splotches here and there. We aren’t sure if the owner has a heart like a child or what!

Eye of the Tiger

This plane is from the Rossi Airlines and Amur Tiger collaboration. It’s a Boeing 737 with a gorgeous tiger right on the nose. Painters needed about 500 kilos of paint to finish the project, which tells you how enormous it all is. Plus, it was free-handed!

Let It Go

Frozen is a popular movie for children, and one person went to the extreme. It took about 170 gallons of paint and 23 different colors to create this masterpiece. Canadian WestJet Airlines decided to do it as a stunt. This is just amazing to see!

Shark Tank

The shark face on this plane might make people rethink their trip. It might have worked better on a submarine or ship, but the detail is still amazing to behold. This is the only shark in the world that can fly, and it’s a Warthog A-10, so it sees a lot of action.

Blue Digi-Camo

The first photo shows the side view of the Russian SU-57, and the second one depicts an F-16 from the US Air Force. They look almost identical, but plane enthusiasts should be able to tell the difference. They’re both remarkable!

Roses Are Red

A jet should always be handsome, savvy, and private, and this one doesn’t disappoint. You see a baby-blue airplane with crows and flowers painted all around it. You can’t get a better custom-paint job than this one. It’s truly beautiful in all aspects.

Whale of a Plane

This aircraft has a beautiful paint job, and it’s uncanny how much it looks like a Beluga whale (except for its wings). The aircraft painter who created this masterpiece brought out the similarities between mammal and machine. Plus, it’s the world’s largest commercial airplane.

Northern Lights

Icelandair gave this plane a makeover as part of its “stopover” campaign. You can see the beautiful colors depicting the famous Northern Lights. In fact, the natural phenomenon makes the country famous, and everyone should know about it.

Black Mamba Plane

You should definitely look up the F-16 demo team schedule and see a show as soon as you can. These fighter jets are highly maneuverable, and the paint job for the black mamba viper is also amazing. It’s so attractive and chic!

The Jaws Shark

This is a vintage military airplane that looks just as natural as the shark in Jaws. Aside from the jokes, it was amazing work. We’re sure that whoever painted it was proud, and they did a fantastic job, as well.

The Dragon

This fighter plane is now part of the aerobatics team of the Italian Air Force. You can see that the dragon paint job is a marketing ploy to get everyone in the door. Then, the pilots can impress the crowd with their flying skills.
