My plane needs a repaint.
The problem is that it is a bit of a wimpy plane to look at so I
tought to give it a more manly look.
I think NATO grey like F-15s with black lettering would be nice.
But, as a friend pointed out, visibility(thus safety) will not
improve.
Hmmm, true. But I do not like the idea about painting the wing tips
and top of the rudder bright orange.

Now I remember that WW1 battle ships had a color scheme with
white-blue-black surfaces on a gray background(a bit like a Mondriaan
painting) designed to make it difficult to estimate distance and
shape.

I don't care how you paint your airplane, it's yours, do with it what
you want. I do however have a question. You don't want to paint it
gray because of the low visibility, but instead you're going to paint it
in dazzle which will makes it difficult to determine your attitude. G

I'd go for the gray, if they can't see you that can't hit you. G

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
