Agree, I would use DAI Weiner Neustadt. I retrofitted aircon on my DA62 and the job was superb.

Curious if anyone has painted all white Diamonds in a color that meets the allowable solar absorption number (which is a hard number to pin down)

Re: Refurbishing interior and Exterior DA42!!
A previous owner painted the underside of my 2003 DA-40 gray. I don't have a photo handy but here's an old pic from a couple of sales ago that gives you the idea.
I've always assumed the fact it was only on the underside helped it avoid sun absorption concerns.
One of the maintenance shops I used was freaked out enough about passing it off on annual that they called Diamond Canada in London. They apparently gave the go-ahead because I got my annual signed.
cheers,
dan

I had some touchup done at Sunquest at PAE and the owner Brandon was talking about how there were some new paints allowing for this. He had done a couple non-diamond planes IIRC.
