We registered FSRepaint users find it good for viewing and repainting FS9 aircraft. It's not the best way to repaint planes but it is an excellent viewer for checking repaint modifications as one proceeds thru the repainting process.

Free alternatives are:

2.) Paintprog (Pixia; PSP, etc.)
3.) FS9
Usage:

3.) View results

Happy Painting

That's what I did for a long time, until I finally gave in and registered FS Repaint.  Then I realised how much easier it made things!  ;D
