Status: offline 		DOPE! (yep thats right) DOPE! Aero-gloss, Sig, Stuka Stunt works, what have you. Of COURSE dope melts foam, however.... just click on 'search this forum', then type "mitsu zero" and see 3 posts of mine that describe what to do. Also check out my gallery at ; http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/profile.cfm?section=profile&forum=1&memid=317472 or just google '1/2atopgun'.

Don't turn your nose up at the idea of using (un-inked) newsprint paper in the process either. Then, low temp econocotes, etc, and other paints can be used. Depending on size of plane and your weight budget.
Good luck, but you won't need much.
