Make sure your wiper fluid is colorless, it will effect the color ! The blue stuff will turn yellow a nice pea green......

I have been using windex clear with good results too.

I have used the behr interior latex flat on my birds.

The only problem I have and still am experiencing is fisheyes. Now it's not from grease or oil on the plane and it's not moisture as I run two traps. I think there is some kind of seperation going on in the mix of flotrol, wiper/windex and the paint, or possibly condensation at the tip of the air gun. Very strange......let it dry and the second coat will get rid of it.

Maybe it's due to using interior flat instead of exterior flat ?

The plane looks fine when done but it does slow you down and annoy the s##t out of you.
