Hi Johan your RV-10 is a work of art, looks great! What paint was used? I painted my RV-10 myself and took a much simpler scheme then yours but our colors used appear to be close; I used jetglo express. Your blue is gorgeous…Enjoy it!
Be blessed

Got my plane back from Evoke paint shop in Gadsden, AL in mid June. Very happy with end product. Jonathan, Larry and team did outstanding job. Happy customer.

Thank you for the kind words.
Logbook entry states that they used Axalta, Spies Hecker Permacron and clear coated with Axalta Aviation Series AF740.
Hope this helps and is what you asked for.

No response from the OP on the price of the paint job. It must be a secret. I'm guessing it was HUGELY expensive and the OP doesn't want his wife to find out
I now hear on the grapevine that Evoke has a standard charge for prepping and painting RV10s of US $28,000.
Now I'm not criticising that price at all....as with just about everything in life you tend to get what you pay for.
But it is interesting that you might have to pay that sort of money these days for a really top notch paint job.
I'm guessing that a lot of the Lindy winners at AirVenture are owned by builders with deep pockets who can afford QB kits, flash third party instrument panels and custom-built interiors, and expensive paint jobs.

I agree. It's astonishing that it's that high, but it is what it is. Given that I'd be taking them a pin hole-free airframe with DanH-level composite finish work done for them already (thanks to DanH's detailed mentoring here on VAF), that flat fee would be very unpalatable to me.
