Thats a cool paint job but let me give you a tip.
Bust out some sand paper and some day glo orange paint if you want to be able to see what that thing is doing more than 10 feet away.

Im going to have to agree with Andy on this one....I dont think you are going to like the solid black in flight....i know it looks cool and stealth on the table but its not going to be kind to you in flight.....if you dont want to redo the whole thing then just get some masking tape and tape off some stripes or some other design then spray that white followed by some neon color(neons need a white background) or just leave it white.....Matt Botos and Marcus Kim both have had black and white canopies and they actually looked nice and showed up well in flight

I got it "used" and it was already painted like this.....I plan to strip it down and use some yellow and maybe day glo orange on it.

Very nice setup youve got there, Day Glo Orange sounds good to me.
