Default What paint for Tiger Moth?

Well I finnally picked up the Tiger Moth from the LHS. After reading all the posts and looking at some of the mod's, I've decided to paint the TM in the colors of the one at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
What kind/brand of spraypaints can I use that won't eat the foam?

And one last one... I went to Lowes and bought a quart of Latex paint, thinned it approx 70/30 with water and shot it through an airbrush. Since it is elec, no need to fuelproof or clearcoat it really. And it wont hurt foam, just make sure it is water based latex wall paint.

Default Zero

Chris,
See the GWS Zero post as I asked the same question and got some good answers. I just bought a 7cell 900mah pack yesterday and will give it a shot this weekend. I have an 8 cell pack on order, but it wont be here till next week. Will post results under the zero thread Sunday.

I am not sure yet, I just got the pack but havent flown with it yet. And now,I am gonna have to work all day Sat and wont be able to get to the field on Sunday. I hate when they through a snag in your plans. Diamond Lil and Fifi, the b-24 and b-29(only one flying in the world)are in town this weekend and I will be going there on Sunday to see them, so its lookin like next week before I get to test the pack.

Wal-Mat sells a Craft paint that is watersoulable and easy to spread with a foam brush. Low weight and good coverage.
