Clive Denney and Vintage Fabrics have a vast amount of
experience painting all types of aircraft. Vintage
Fabrics' speciality is of course warbirds. When it comes
to paint schemes, Vintage Fabrics does not only spray
them, it also researches them and provides the
specialised paints.
Facilities
Vintage Fabrics has, on site, a purpose built Spray
Booth. This unit allows the spray conditions to be
controlled. This allows a number of different spray
environments to be simulated. The unit is large enough
to handle large aircraft components such as wings and
fuselages.
If an aircraft needs to be sprayed without being
dismantled, Vintage Fabrics can arrange to use a larger
spray facility to accommodate the aircraft.
Paint Scheme Research
Paint research, such as colour, camouflage schemes, nose
art and markings are all investigated by Vintage
Fabrics. Factory drawings, photographs, archive material
and original paint chips are all used to ensure that the
research is a comprehensive as possible.

Vintage Fabrics carries out detailed research on each of
its paint jobs. This ensures that each job is authentic
as possible.
All types of wartime colours are researched to ensure
that they match their original colours. Once these
colours have been confirmed as original, they are stored
on computer, so they can be produced to the same
standard every time. The paints Vintage Fabrics use and
supply are mixed by qualified experts.
British Standard and German RLM colours are a speciality
Detailed Art Work
As well as painting whole aeroplanes, Vintage Fabrics
also specialises in detail paintwork. This can range
from Nose Art and Squadron Motifs to stencils. Examples
of Clive Denney/Vintage Fabrics artwork can be seen on
many static and flying aircraft around the world as well
as crash helmets.
