Thank you all for the help. Here's the final design I am going with next week. I still have a few options to figure out, but we are getting close! Thank you!!

Carry the red through to the tail, and red wing tips, but plus the RV7 on right wing is my vote,

I think red tail (without logo, maybe silver & black accent stripe), red wing tips, logo on the wing.

I saw the Harv’s Air 300 in Rocky Mountain house this Fall. Good choice.

Finally done, and I love it! It came out so great. I reached out to Mike Patey, because the silver he uses on his airplanes looks really great. He quickly shared the code with me. So kind! The red pops in the sun. Now to fly it!! Thanks for all of your help.

It looks great. I really like the design.

Anyone who doesn’t like red could just plug in their color of choice and have a great looking airplane.

Beautiful!! What shop did the work? I’ll be looking for a paint job for my RV-8 in a coupla years...

My current paint is almost 10 years old, but it was never what I would call a nice job. I took it to a pro painter, but he was in a “transition phase” and setting up a new shop. No paint booth, no good crew. He painted the white base in a ratty old T hangar and it looks it. Ah well, it’s nothing I can’t fix by throwing money at it for a strip/respray.

I like #5 or Mr. Billingsley's. White seems to enhance RV's.



I wish that was an option in your vote, I would have chosen it.
