We're looking into adding additional Component finish settings; the current selections are rough, unfinished, regular paint, smooth, and polished. The thought is that the selection names would be changed to better describe what the surface roughness is like. For example, regular paint could be changed, and additional selections added, so that the new selections would be flat paint, gloss paint, and high gloss paint. The problem is determining what the surface roughness is for different types of paint so that OpenRocket can use that data to calculate the correct Cd.
Does anyone have or know of where to get a chart (or any data source) showing the surface roughness of different types of paint?
