I am rather puzzled as regard to some queries about paint kit.
1) Do we need any software to paint it? Or can we just use ''Paint''?
2) I have noticed that some liveries painted by some experts have the following patterns. They have the opposite side of the liveries painted on the right hand side of the plane. That means that when it is flying, it will be correctly faced. Does that imply in the paint kit as well?
Experts, kindly give me some suggestions as regard to such problems/questions. Thank You For your help. May God Bless You.

Well, first off: would one of you kind mods please move this into the correct forum?
Second: As to the paint program to use, you CAN use MS Paint, but its such an atrocious system for repainting aircraft that it usually hinders rather than helps. I would recomend getting a comprehensive paint program that can utilize layers (you can read more about this in the link in my signature). You will also need DXTBmp for some aircraft textures, as they are in DXT3 format, which is unreadable by most paint programs.
I would suggest going to the Aircraft Repainting forum for a good look at how to do these things. There are many people who have asked this same question, so you might find something very usefull there.

Definitely use layers. I've done planes in Paint, and they're horrible, because they just take so much time that you get frustrated and don't care. Layers are great because if you mess up, you don't have to start entirely from scratch.
As for the paint kits....they're not that easy to come by, but some of your higher end freeware aircraft "factories" do include a paint kit, which is essentially nothing more than a blank white airplane to start with.
If you wanna use a particular plane, and it doesn't have a paint kit, layers also come in handy because you can trace the texture onto a blank layer, then delete the original layer, thus leaving you with the blank that your heart desires.
Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&
