I have been trying to find information about the pros and cons of painting a Supercub all black (or mostly black), and I did not find almost anything. Is there any significant disadvantage over the other colors? (beside the difficulty of finding it in case of an accident) like the longevity of the paint and the fabric, if it requires more maintenance, stretching of the fabric, fading of the paint, etc.
The place where the airplane will be located has an average anual temperature of 58F with moderately (and short) hot summers with clear skies (in summer during the day is around 75F/80F and very occasionally -and for one day- could reach 95F). It's gonna be kept in a hangar. We are using PolyFiber to cover it.
About the paint: Matte or gloss? All painted with Ranthane (polyurethane) or Ranthane for the top coat and Poly-Tone for the belly and wings like the CubCrafters?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
