REFLECTOR:dark colors

[Alexander Balic]

sure, you can do it, since these do not take a lot of stress/ and or do not
face the sun, I can't see a problem there, I remember one of the old factory
aircraft was painted a deep orange, and then bright pink, to my knowledge,
it never fell from the sky- just be careful about the cowling, it might not
hold the plane up, but it takes more stress than you think, there is a large
negative pressure area back there trying to suck it off the back of the
plane...

Is there any reason why I can't paint the non-structural parts of my
Velocity
a dark color? I'm considering bright red to make the plane more visible.
Couldn't I paint the wheel pants and the cowling bright red?  How about the
two access covers on the nose?  How about the underside of the fuselage,
strakes, and wings?
