Bryan asks:
If one was to paint a Lancair silver metallic paint would that affect the internal comm antennas
or any of the effectiveness of the antennas in the aircraft?
Yes. Metallic paint will affect your antenna performance.
There are some metallic-looking paints that actually contain no metal.
These are actually
a light gray pigment paint heavily loaded with pearlescent
layered-dielectric particles.
I don't know if there is an aircraft compatible paint of this type,
but it is used in certain
laptop computers over the touchpad.
