The red, grey and silver are all metallics. The white base is not. The grey color is an AMG grey metallic and from different angles varies from black to light silver. It is truly an amazing paint to see in person. Many people have commented it looks like each of the whiskers is a different shade of paint, but they are all the same. Its just an optical illusion. The longer silver whiskers are a BMW silver and they look like there is a fade, but there is not.

Craig Roberts/Aero Composites here at KUAO painted it for me. He has a long waiting list and from what he told me, wont be doing another RV10 for quite a while (lots of work).

Default krylon was it?

To echo Bob it's 10 knots faster now just sitting there! Looks great Mark. Can't wait to see in person.

Mark, what kind of cruise performance numbers are you getting with the new wide chord Hartzell prop? I wonder how much of a difference it makes. There was recently an article in one of the aviation magazines that talked about the reasoning behind the wide chords. It was an interesting read.

Default what makes a great paint job?

That is great...borrowed or not!
One thing I notice is that there are NO straight lines!
Not that it can't look good with a nice long 'waterline', but it really makes the -10 look even more like a curvy composite ship!

I was not implying that borrowed a paintjob was a negative thing. I look at other airplanes as a source of inspiration for my own almost every day. It was a simple question. Now back to the thread.

I love the flow of the multiple lines on the lower part of the aircraft.
