It’s time for me to finalize my paint scheme and so true to form last minute I came up with a number of alternate designs.
Keep in mind this plane has the James cowl. If interested please review the designs and email me off list with your favorite design # and any comments you may have.

Robin, you are a bold builder to offer those fine graphic designs for public consumption/opinion and plagiarizing.
I think the Cirrus group is bold much like the Columbia was, before Cessna's purchase in bucking graphic artist input to flow/symmetry and balance. My wife says she can spot a male designer every time. She won't let me consider a top heavy dark canopy while I am alive during or after the build process. Here's toasting a cold one to your long life and smiles from the rest of us.
A point to consider is a natural flow to those graphics and the dramatic James Cowl, Remember the leading edge compatibility to future paint chipping (from Ice/Rain/Rocks/FOD) and the striking use of contrasting or complementary colors. You're going to be a natural for 3Ms clear Prop Tape films used for leading edges, gap seals and other scuff resistant surfaces. Others might walk the flightline and learn the hazard areas on the flying RV-10s before tackling such a solution.
The heat loads from the (most massive Vans) fiberglass canopy and the expansive Plexiglas touring windows would cause me to ask John Gonzales "How does that work in a Glider?" In a Piper, the door stays open as long as possible to create adequate ambient air flow to exhaust the heat build up at startup and idle. Cessnas flying under that big umbrella can't comment. In an RV-10, the gull wing door design wants to take flight. Tim's website has my research on Colors/Temperatures from several years ago at the big VANs Fly-In. Everyone including John Strain is waiting for Ed Hayden's report on his onboard A/C system or Deems Ice Chest Solution to the heat soak problems.
I think you are doing a great service for us so that future builders consider such schemes. I still give Wayne Edgerton (N602WT) and Deems Davis (N519PJ) my high mark for individually unique graphic design, color choices, flow and quality of topcoat. Scott Schmidt (N104XP) got my first vote for his one of a kind graphic scheme and the dramatic use of Pearl White base paint. Tim Olson did a great scheme on (N104CD). A paint job should remain Timeless. After painting show cars, I still cringe when an owner would want a perfectly great paintjob redone so he could resubmit the following year as a New Entry. Oh well, it was his money, the paint didn't matter then. Even our airline gets wrapped up in changing paint schemes to match mood changes with the season. Jim Hergert's (N6XE) set the Experimental standard for changing colors with the prismatic resins. So much so, that Garmin used the picture for their "Fast Glass" Panel advertising and ironically the panel is all Chelton.. only his radio stack was Garmin, now go figure.
Every well painted RV-10 is a tribute to the love and attention invested in the build process.
Barnstormers has a diverse range of paint jobs, graphics, colors and downright homemade paint schemes on the RV-10s being turned. Yours may be the Next Big Winner. Copperstate '08 gave their Grand Champion Award to a striking paint scheme on a plastic aircraft done right down the street from VANS. The painter (Craig Roberts) did not even know till after the fact the impact he had on the Arizona judges. it was more than a year old having been seen at Copperstate back in 07. Timeless, now that's a great paint scheme.
