I like the silver, and the blue on the fuse. Personally i think they should have stopped there and not made it so busy with the angled stripes.

I have no idea who painted this Bonanza. Just like it! Metallic paint is so hot right now.

Had the JP painted earlier this year. Was looking at using metallic paints. Its adds A LOT to the price of the paint job. Same with Pearl paints. Shop also told me dark colors on the top of the fuse will increase cabin temps by 10 to 15 degrees. Ended up going with this scheme. The stripes are metallic and the white and blue are regular urethane.

I was surprised to learn that different colors cost different amounts. For example white is cheap, red costs a lot more. I never thought of that possibility.

When I painted my project car several years back, the metallic/pearls/kandy's all commanded a premium over solids. I'd imagine that premium is even steeper for "airplane" paint.....
