Bill Rumburg,  you mention you used a metallic paint.  I've heard the metallic
particles cause antenna  interference (potentially drastic reception range
reduction).  Have you had any trouble?  Any comments as to why or why not?  I
would love to use a metallic paint but not at the expense of nav/comm
performance.

Also, what experience have people had with clearcoats?  Someone recently
recommended against it because of discoloration with age but are there other
opinions?  And do we have to live with those nasty edges between paint colors
(caused by tape lines) or is there a way to smooth them (say, by covering
everything with a coat of clear)?

Thanks,
Ed de Chazal
