It's a bit like Henry Ford said, any colour you like so long as it looks
fairly whitelike.
Just avoid anything that's going to allow the structure to absorb heat and
be careful about introducing any long stripes running spanwise across the wings,
certainly in the first 50% of the chord. An even tiny paint step here could ruin
the wing's performance and may increase the stall speed.
Suggest you try taking a scan from the brochure pics and doodling in Coreldraw
as a simple way of trying out some ideas. They almost give version 3 away these
days and most schools have it.
If you can get the scaling right then a lot of the self adhesive decal makers
can work from the output files, check with them first but often HPGL files will
drive their ruby cutters to make either positive images or spray masks.
Great though for "personalised" registration letter, within the CAP of course!
Fine for two dimensional stuff but trying to do complex lines over a 3D form
needs something a bit more sophisticated like Autocad's solid modelling
software. If you can drive Autocad's 3DStudio then you can make great
walkarounds so you can see exactly what it would look like and even set it
against your favourite airstrip.
