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

I thought that, now I know it is called dazzle, was more conspicuous
than just grey because of the contrasting colors.
That is difficult to see what kind of plane it is or at what attitude
suits me well if I do something stupid.
