A little sanding will fix that. No biggie. The plane is almost ready to go to covering. My helper

It look pretty sharp looking. The best colors for visibly to me is a dark red and white along with some black trim. Hope it flies as good as the smaller Goldberg Ultimates. Never had a plane that could fly as good as an Ultimate in all conditions. Grant

Or even close will do.

I like Ben's scheme
but i would change the "red"
when I use to spray paint finishes using the epoxy paints
cough hack cough ...trouble breathing...

i use to take the red and add a little orange to the mix
it created the most vivid red i have ever seen

not sure where you would find a covering like that
