Hi All
I need some advice/experience on paint colours suitable for the Europa - in
particular silver metallic. Is it feasable? The build manual does not
mention metallic paints.

Hi william
What Svein has said is Europa's position on paint, But Peter Kember has painted
his tri gear silver and it seems to have no problem.
But a few years back an American europa painted blue on the bottom in Arizona,
suffered a sagging engine after being heat soaked for a day,
In August this year Bob Harrison and myself had ground temperatures of 40C in the Czech republic so Europe can still get very warm,
regards

Hi William,
I would recommend against using metallic paints. I had the same thought as
you, until I checked out the relative temperature of car surfaces (put my
hand on the hood) at a parking lot on a sunny day:
White is definitely the only "cold" colour. Silver metallic is up there
among the other "warm" colours like green, blue and red. May sound strange,
but it is caused by irregular particles in the paint reflecting radiation
heat not only outwards (remember: angle out equals angle in).
Regards,
Svein

Ivor,
That is not strictly correct as Peter has only painted the bottom half silver, the top half of the fuselage and the wings/tailplanes are white.
My aircraft is a bit similar in that several years ago I painted the underside of the fuselage dark blue and this has not shown itself a problem even on trips down in to Spain, Italy and Morocco.
