Paint Scheme

This is the paint scheme I am thinking about doing. As I said earlier, red and black are my colors of choice. I once seen a plane (an RV6, see pic below) painted like a white/red Gee Bee racer. I thought it looked pretty slick. Considering almost every factory-built plane seems to be white...that was out for me...blah! I want something different, something you'll remember. I've always liked black, and red is my favorite color and they look good together...definitely bold! So thats how I came up with the color scheme. I do realize, black may be hard to keep clean but I'll deal with it. And since it isnt a composite plane, a dark color should be ok for heat purposes.

This is the RV6 I was talking about, apparently belongs to a gentleman named Troy Munday, painted by GLO Custom Aircraft in the DFW area. Nice looking paint job!
So here is a sketch of my proposed paint scheme. I have seen a few planes similar to this but none exactly. Hopefully no one will read this post and 'copy' my scheme before I finish! :) It is intended to give the look of a black plane that just flew through red paint. Whether you like it or not, it will be a paint scheme that you wont soon forget...and thats what I'm trying to achieve. This is a first pass, it may change slightly as I move toward paint day.

I am considering naming my plane "Dead Red"...short for "sitting dead red". In baseball terminology, he was “sitting dead red” means the hitter has what they call a "hitter's count", 3-1, 2-1, 2-0...or ahead in the count is another way to say it. When this happens, typically hitters have the advantage and are looking for a fastball in a very specific area of the strike zone. An area where they can put a good swing on the ball and drive it hopefully out of the park. It is, very much a position of strength that every hitter likes to be in.
