Stunning. Simple great color. Very slippery looking. Very nice indeed. It's ready for business, in an elegant way.

Looks fantastic. Would it be rude to ask the name of the colour?

The name of the color is Azzurro Thetys Metallic

Here are a few shots under the sun, we have noticed a slightly change of color between the cowling and the rest of the aircraft and we think is because the cowling was painted probably 6 to 8 month after the rest of the aircraft.

I finished the engine break-in and put the landing gear fairings and wheel pants on this week. Almost finished with Phase 1!

Mark Cigal's RV 8

Here's a picture of my "Eagle Eight". First flight was Aug 23, 2004. I now have
100+ hours and am enjoying every second of flight ! UPDATE JAN 2024....... almost 20 years later with over 1,100 hours on the hobbs.View attachment 54365

Update on the update. My 8 was destroyed by flood waters from hurricane Helene on Sept 27th 2024. I believe she is being rebuilt by a gentleman living in Georgia. I sure would love to see her fly again.
