1. Select your paint.

2. Select your brush (You need only one).

3. Go to the aerodrome and wait till the airplane has taken off and is high in the sky.

4. When it is small enough, dip your brush in the paint, and swipe it over the 'plane. Once.

5. You're done.

We should definitely put this idea in perspective...

How do you avoid painting the windows?

// How do you avoid painting the windows?//
...just use a Q-tip with a little nail polish remover to wipe them clean. +

or wait til the plane is larger and go over each window with a lick of see-through paint.

I don't think this is magic. It's an artistical interpretation.
-- xandram, Aug 14 2007


Well, the idea might scrape by because of the category choice, but it's going to scrape the paint off on that side.

I was expecting flying the airplanes through a sprayed cloud of paint.

Me too [normzone], I was imagining somehow creating a large cloud of paint vapour.
-- theleopard, Aug 14 2007


I disagree with Step 5 in the instructions - once the plan flies past the paintbrush you're no longer done, and need to repeat steps 4 and 5. Clearly some sort of robotic radar arm needs to be invented to follow the plane.

And all birds and FOB's get stuck and dry with the paint to the plane....

I may be off base, but I don't think this idea would ever work.
-- evilpenguin, Aug 14 2007


hey, no problem, I never even checked the category. I just thought is was sooo halfbaked, I loved it. It could work if one was painting planes on a clear plastic sheet pasted to a window in the aerodrome.

I didn't realize this was an echo (echo((echo(((echo))))))))

Father Ted (holding up a toy cow):
"This cow: small..."
(pointing out of the window)
"That cow: far away..."

Father Dougal (shaking head):
"No, sorry Ted, I don’t get it can you show me again?"

Gee why not move the plane though a giant air brush room?
-- travbm, Oct 29 2015


Gee, why not just post "I don't get it" on every idea in the HB?
