Food for thought regarding static buildup since this seems to be a hot subject this week.  While flying the prototype 360, in the vicinity of thunderstorms (10-15 miles) I had a discharge from my hand to the instrument panel.  No visible moisture on or in the immediate vicinity. I'll let the paint experts comment on the contents (fine aluminum and other metalic components) in the finishes available.  There is a primer out there that advertises itself as non-conductive. ???  Leads me to think that grounding the airplane and cap isn't a completely bad idea for re-fueling.
