Okay, I have an update to anyone who is following this and really wants to know where we decided to go with our paint scheme design. Spoiler alert, I'm revealing my and my husband's preferences, which I think some of you may have already figured out. He preferred the plain (in my opinion boring) white and gray design, I really liked the dark blue (but really, just want some color in general). I had chatGPT help me create these designs by altering existing Mooney paint schemes I found on the internet. I've used the strategy above (using chatGPT) to create yet a third option which I do believe is going to be the paint scheme we go with. Those of you who liked Option 1 but wished it had a little more pizzaz or color will appreciate our newest design. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm making a big deal about this, but the amount of emotional/mental energy spent on this one decision was really causing frustration for me... it's an expensive proposition that I want to make sure we get right so we end up loving our paint scheme for years and years to come. I'm happy to say I think we've accomplished this. So without further ado, I present to you... the winning design (just imagine the first airplane without the missing head, which is why I included the other complete image)! Thanks to all for your input.

Ok here's a follow up question to those who have responded with concerns about the color with respect to heat (thank you, btw)... The airplane will be regularly hangared, is the heat a problem in air, or mostly when sitting and baking on a ramp? Would a canopy cover help to alleviate this issue, and also provide some protection?

Hello everyone, I'm hoping you can help me settle a dispute with my husband. We have wildly differing opinions on how to repaint our Mooney M20J, which currently has the old outdated cream yellow body with blue and brick red striping down the body. The issue is that he initiated a restoration/upgrade of the interior, including a brand new panel, and seats, without regard for what the exterior would look like. If this project were up to me, I would have decided upon a paint scheme first so as to fit the inside to complement, but alas, we are working this problem in reverse and now I feel boxed in by color choices already made. Without revealing our personal preferences, can you all please vote on which exterior paint scheme you prefer? Thank you in advance, especially if you pick my choice! Option 1: Option 2: Seats are in the shop being restored as we type:
