Well, the goal was to have N110DV at OSH this year but we missed it by a couple of days.
40065 is a pretty much standard airplane with Chelton EFIS and Flightline interior. The paint is BASF base/clearcoat. We are based at 3BS Midland, MI
I will post the before and after paint&interior weights and CGs in a few days. Flying the airplane after the paint and interior were added makes a noticable difference with the CG moving aft.
A couple of minor avionics and interior issues remain and then the traveling will begin! While this is a totally different airplane than the RV4 we built it is a ball to fly and as others have noted should be a very practical cross country machine.

Looks great Dick!
So are you happy with the paint shop? I talked with them when they were here in Columbus last fall. They seemed like great people. They helped me get a very nice insurance settlement on my Cherokee.
I was heading home on Saturday, when I realized I hadn’t seen you or your plane. I was really looking forwarded to seeing it. If you head down to any of the Ohio RVators UFO, please let me know. I want to make sure to be there to see your great looking RV-10.

Hey Dick,
VERY nice!
Any thoughts about my earlier comment on clear coating more than one color? To state it again, I understand that the clear is supposed to be applied from 40 min to 2hrs. after the color is applied in order to get a good bond between the color and clear -- otherwise the clear can peel off in a couple of years.
I've base/cleared urethane several cars over the years with great results, but never tri color, stripes etc. So I'm wondering if they waited for the color to dry enough to tape, second color and more time/tape, stripes, etc. THEN cleared? Or if they cleared each color as they went? That would be really time consuming and tough to blend the clear without showing the seams.
Later, - Lew

I used House of Colors paint on my RV8. I applied the base coat a few weeks before the graphics artist could get to the plane. It took him 5 months of part time evening painting to get the graphics on the airplane. After he finished, I applied the clear coat. It took 3 days to put the clear coat on the airplane. 1 day to do the fuselage and 1 day to do the wings. One more day was used to paint the small pieces. The norm for putting the clear coat on is usually 24 hours. The graphics artist told me a light scuffing will provide enough grit for the clear coat to attach. After 7 years and 820 hours, the paint is still a 10 with no hint of clear coat lifting. You can see the paint process on my web site. I plan on painting my RV10 with the same process.

Hey Greg (& Dick),
Thanks for the responses. Greg, that's what I'm looking for -- some real world data and technique. Man, what a paint job! And LOT'S of labor!
Others have been concerned with the weight of multiple coats, especially clear. Not a real factor?
Since most (if not all) of these family members will be hangared, I'm wondering if that also is a factor with the peeling. As opposed to cars which are exposed to UV, heat, weather, etc. constantly.
Later, - Lew

Lew,
With the new paints available today, I don't think the weather has as much effect on the clears. This wasn't the case with the old clears including the lacquers. Keeping the airplanes hangared can really help protect the paint from the elements.
As far as the weight, the 13 colors applied over the clear coat probably have a total weight of many 2 and three color paint schemes. Even though I applied 4 coats of clear over the paint, there is probably 2 coats at the most left after color sanding and polishing.
Forgot to say in last posting... Great paint scheme and nice paint on Dick's RV10. The tip picture really shows the metallic paint.
