Used to fly a desert camo, tan, gold and bronze, done in metallic S-76. One of the best looking aircraft I’ve ever seen to date. The gray camo on the Cirrus is a cool paint scheme, but it makes the fugly SF-50 look like a drone.

I would never want a paint job as unique as that. I want to blend into the crowd, not stand out.

Username Protected wrote: "amazing" is not really the word that springs to mind, at least not in a good way. Not the least concern for visibility to other traffic or for search and rescue should the need arise. Your airplane is the same color as a neon orange golf ball?
It would seem the owners of N616DP were trying to achieve just that, albeit neon green:
