Status: offline 		How practical is it to paint an engine (DL50), header and canister? I have this set-up in a scale plane (Aviatik DI), and I'd like to "subdue" the brightness of the chrome canister and maybe the engine as well.

Saito do it with their GK series. Maybe high heat manifold or grill paint would work.
