I'm working on a velocity and trying to decide on paint. I'm not 100% opposed to white or a shade of it and realize it's the best choice safety wise etc.
What I haven't seen discussed is how grey you can go without it being an issue. If I go with a slightly grey color will that not move the needle?
Is there a limit or a specific paint that is seen as acceptable?
I've seen a few composite aircraft that were light to even dark grey including velocity.
