If this question has been asked before I apologize but I couldn't find a thread on this particular subject.....
So I've been sketching out paint schemes for my RW19 Stork well in advance of its completion and I have a question about paint colors that I cant seem to find an answer to.
It is a wooden aircraft that will be painted with latex paint and will have a lot of graphic designs in the scheme...think graffiti artist.
I know a dark color like black, olive drab,dark blue,etc. should be avoided due to interior temps. but what about florescent colors such as green,purple,blue,orange etc.
Will these florescent colors heat up like a dark color will ?
Yes they are somewhat dark colors but they are florescent and will be a gloss finish that should reflect the light instead of obsorbing the uv rays and heating up the interior of the aircraft.
Anyone have an opinion on color temps. ????
I really dont want to be stuck with plain ole drab white with some trim.......ugh.
