...painting up a default King Air 350 for FSX?  Or if there's some really different skins already out there, tell me where to find them?  There's so many repaints that are basically the regular white but with different stripes, or a real world air ambulance, or it's the livery of someone's virtual flying club.  The best one I've seen is for a different model plane, the  "storm chaser" texture for a B300 King Air.  I know really eye-catching paint jobs in the real world are rare... fleet owners know a flashy color scheme isn't going to sell more seats, but I don't really care if the plane looks like one in the real world, I just want one that looks awesome while I circle around it in "spot" view on those long autopilot cruises.

Have you looked into learning how to do re-paints?  It's not that hard, and you can do as many custom paints as you like.  It actually gets addictive after a while.  Cheesy

This is the package that I have, but being a lazy sod, as I am, I get other Members to do my nice repaints for me...

Actually I'd love to start doing repaints, I've downloaded the repaint project kits for a couple planes... but I have no idea what to do with them!  Got a link for how to get started?

Oh, duh... your link was to a product for doing your own repaints... I was thinking you had a few repaints for me to check out.  Sounds like they really make it easy, so I think I'll give it a try.
