Wheel pants and fairings not on yet but you can see just about all of the paint details in this shot.  The paint has about 45 flight minutes on it right now so it won't look much better than this - ever
 

There are three stripes on the plane that start at the nose and widen out at the tail.  The red swoops over to cover the turtle-deck.  Grey is just straight back, and blue in the middle.

To help hide the cowl hinge, the blue stripe straddles it (and the hinges themselves are painted blue.
 

Vans sells a custom wing walk cutout which we just had to purchase.
 

In order to help make the wings look less stubby (fairly difficult in an RV3,4,6,8), the leading edge is tapered red.
 

All wing colors come to a point at the leading edge.
 

Horizontal stabilizer has blue on the leading edge (vs red on the wings).  Tips (and faired in wingtips) are red.
 

Wheel pants have a similar look (red, blue, grey striped).
