I'm relatively new to the industry, but what I've learned is that there are many means to approach a common objective. For example, when I need to mask a wing I first need to assess the situation: will we strip sand the wing? Is the wing even going to be painted? How should the wing be covered if it's not being painted but we need access to the top of the fuselage? As far as I know, there are no trade secrets regarding the paint application and various masking techniques (at least between technicians). If someone knows of a better and faster (while still maintaining quality) way to do something they are always willing to share. At least where I work the situation is as such.

I like your approach to game development where you see the potential to improve upon certain ideas. For ideas and tips I often look to those in the collision repair industry because it is very similar to aviation paint. In fact, that is what I went to school for.

I never thought to critically analyze any video game media that I personally enjoy. I'll think to myself or tell others that I enjoyed this game or that, but when I stop to think about the why it's usually because of the story and/or game mechanics. Drill Dozer was a blast to play when I was younger because the story wasn't too deep or over complicated that I became confused by it. Also, the rumble pak made the game sort of come to life because I could feel the impact of each enemy or block I drilled into. That game is still special to me after all these years.

Thanks for being so understanding of my human mistake. If you would like to chat further about our shared video game interest or anything else I'd be up for it because I definitely enjoy your perspective(s).

@DeltaPeng I apologize for misunderstanding your comment's aim. It was directly after one of mine and I'm rather used to people calling me out for being "narrow-minded". It's just that I know what I like and what I don't like, so I keep my focus on those things. As for my goals in the immediate future, I am trying to learn as much as I can about the aviation paint industry so that my skills will continually be improving. At the same time, I enjoy learning more about my "Big Three" hobby brands: Nintendo, Lego, and Ford Motor Company. I am very blessed to have a career that I love, and I am especially blessed because I was given a job offer less than a week after earning my AAS. Again, I apologize for misconstruing your comment and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
