Does anyone know where this picture came from off the Van's web site? I'd love to get some other shots of this particular aircraft as I want to paint my RV-8 the same color.
Thanks for any leads...

Matt,
Is this the same RV-8? It's one of my favorites but I can't recall who posted it
to VAF.

I'm almost certain that's a -9 in the photo Matt referenced... look at the aspect ratio on that wing; very non-traditional RV profile. Just my guess.

You may be right on that Bill. I’m so used to a close-up view of the rivets on my -9A project fuse that I seldom step back to look at the wings as a whole. I just assumed that since Matt was building an -8 the photo would be of one as well. Goes to show that the acronym for ‘assume’ is correct.

Whatever. Must be the sexy wing tips and the tandem fuselage Certainly doesn't look like the short & stubby -6, -7 RV wing planform from this angle. If you've found the registration number, you've found the owner and, with a phone call, the paint spec. Good job.

I have seen this airplane in the Reno area. I think it is named, "Red
Ryder".

It is indeed Paul's RV-8 and was perhaps the last plane finished by Mike Taylor at Tuscaloosa AL (TCL) just before he robbed me and several others of our deposits as we were waiting for paint. The biggest crime is that I have seen several planes he painted, and Mike did absolutely beautiful work. An RV-4 that Taylor had started was finished by Bobby Potts in the same facility, which Bobby owns. I was so impressed with Bobbys integrity and quality of work, that he painted my plane.

Matt, The plane is Pauls. Hangers at KPDK.
The color is Ford Red Fire Pearl.
The color code is G2 and its from 2002-2005 Ford Mustangs.
Thats the color I also used cause I used to have to stare at Paul flying
off my wing all the time. Loved it.
Its very translucent, takes quite a few coats.
The paint mixer said it was the most expensive production color her has
ever mixed.

Sweet! I've seen that color on the Mustangs and always thought that was the color I wanted to paint my RV. That color code is going in my book of things to remember!
I wonder if its a two or three stage application?
Thanks!

Its 2 satge both at the ford factory, and in my basement where I painted mine.
I recommend before you get too settled on it to check a local supplier of automotive paint and the cost. You may just have to find a second job.
I paid $1249/gallon 4 years ago, I used 3 gallons of red alone. Does not include activator, hardener, reducer etc. Its expensive. I used Sikkens. It shoots beautifully. I get many positive comments from on-lookers. The women swoon over it:)
