Greg, We've got PPG base and clearcoat on 5ZQ. We have all internal antennas and no static wicks or grounding straps. We've had no static problems whatsoever when flying in clouds. All transmission and reception is 5x5 and last night I picked up a VOR station at 125 miles at 11,000. Haven't tried snow yet. In my experience dry snow is a pretty good static producer. We'll probably have the answer to that one soon though. A true metalic paint will, I think, preclude the use of internal antennas. Be sure to check this out before making your final decission on paint or your plane will look like a flying pin cushon!
