new style paint

After reviewing all the responses, I do remember about the rough surface causing the water molecules to detach and making the boats less resistive in the water. It appears that the air molecules would detach easier from a rough surface and have less drag as Adam ,you and several others stated. I agree now ,just the opposite to drag would happen. Guess I will just have to split the ailerons and let them open with a mercury switch for the downlines.
 So the only benefit would be you don't polish and shine the finish.

At least I woke up some of you.

    It is too quiet. Suppose a person has a 9.5 lb. primed wide body plane and he stiples the fuse. with ceiling paint(popcorn texture),  then he  overcoats the stiples with PPG for a coloring. The idea would be to make a draggy fuse with slower down lines. An increase in power would be necessary because of the extra drag, we have plenty of power now,so that shouldn't be a problem. The wings, stab, and verticle would be left clean.  I think it would work. Also you would not have to rub and polish the finish.   Whaddaya think?

    I'll give you one guess what I have been doing today.
