Ok, so I have read the few threads I could find on black paint jobs and had almost talked myself out of it based on possible heat issues, excessive fuel venting, poor visibility, and potential durability problems and then........
I was southbound on SR-65 just west of Lincoln, Ca airport (LHM) yeaterday at about 5:45 pm when I look up and saw what looked like a black (or at least very dark) RV...... VERY cool....
Next thing I know I'm looking for black airplane pictures again!!!!
I really think I'd like to throw a curve in and go satin instead of gloss.... Just afraid it will end up looking like the 1979 Trans Am I drove around high school in primer for a year before I could afford to throw some actual paint on it. Anyone ever seen a satin paint job on a plane?
This just makes my jaw drop, but it might be the car and not the paint.
