Hey guys, will be soon wrapping up a lengthy construction project on my homebuilt experimental Vans RV-7. I would like to use this beautiful example for my paint with this 197 as inspiration for the colors.
I was thinking the blue would be the red, the gray would be the black and the lower strip silver with the top stripe of course being the black, but would love input!

That RV-7 was painted by a local shop to me here in AZ where I've had custom work done.
Insanely gorgeous.
Im a little confused though- you have an RV-7 that you want painted like the blue one, but using the colors from that MC?

You are going to love that plane and congratulations on nearing the end of the build!
I am just completing the first wing on a Giles 202 project myself...many years left in the build for me.

Black Stripe instead of Silver on the landing gear?

You guys think black on the whole bottom with silver stripes would be to bold?, I agree on the landing gear and yes he did and incredible job!

I agree Robert A you are the man. I have not seen such awesome photoshop work since the LonVisable thread. Needs a Photo of Lon out the canopy.
Matt whats it costing you to get your RV4 wheels up? Thats a cool looking plane

It cost more than I budgeted. I went with the 200 hp option which cost more then the 180 I had planned for. I also splurged on the panel with solid IFR so upgrades wouldn't be wanted later. This paint job is going to cost and I just ordered the "smoke" kit. So all told about 120,000.

Wow that seems like a great deal for what you have or are gonna have. Seeing how this is a wakeboard forum and your into boats I have to ask you what you think of the ICON A5

I think it is a really really cool toy. It is and not meant to be a serious mission aircraft. It's slow,can't carry much or go far but it is neat as heck.

Is the RV4 fully aerobatic. Im guessing so because you got the Smoke Option.
You have to post pic's of your plane we would all love to see it

One of my buddies built his RV-10, but did not stop there. He has started another company to make parts for it. Not sure if any fit your plane, but here is the link. http://www.aerosportproducts.com/

Wow- insane shop job on that RobertA.
Im not a fan of the black stripe. I like the contrast of the light charcoal on that silver more, like the blue one has. Just my .02!

No problem. Photoshop has come a long ways and makes things like this a lot easier. It also helps to be bored at work.
