Vans RV-8 N678MT Custom Paint Scheme
“I’d met Jonathan and his team when I was in the middle of my RV8’s build, so they really took things from concept to finish. Things came out great, the checkerboard stands out in a really sharp way, keeping that traditional racing vibe while also being modern. The colors were also spot on, really a great job by everyone on their team.”

We met Mark Dickens at SUN 'n FUN in 2014, where we quickly established a relationship that would bring Mark's ideas to reality. Mark was in the process of building when we met him, but when he finished in 2018, we were ecstatic to offer him a slot in our new paint facility. From there, we were able to transfer the rendering from paper, to reality!
The checkerboard really came to life when contrasted with the metallic silver and deep red color. Overall, it was a wonderfully modern approach to a traditional concept.
Thanks to Mark for trusting us with this killer idea, and thanks to Evoke Aviation for finishing up this project in style!
