Do you color your props?

I flew the bird in the house to test it out first. Seemed ok at takeoff. I'll test out further. The black props don't take the paint as well as the white ones. Here's the next one I'm working on and the paint I used for the desert camo.

Ummm...... JUST my own thoughts here. I would NOT use any kind of brush on paint. For that matter, I would not use ANY paint, spray or brush on.

Especially in this case, that acrylic paint is VERY thick and heavy. It's adding weight to your props, probably in disproportionate amounts. Additionally, it's thick enough that it is also going to affect the uniform airflow over the lifting surface, destroying or altering the characteristics of each prop. JUST my two cents.

I have seen in several threads where people got creative. Thought it would be nice to see what others are doing. There are so many very talented people on this board. My wife did these with alcohol ink.

A lot of things came to mind when I saw this. Would people believe the only alcohol used was on the drone? Clip on picture for large view.
