Spraypainting covering
I want to put some big stripes on the bottom of my 4*s wings and I dont want to buy another roll of covering just for the stripes, can i just use tape to mask stripes and spray chrome spraypaint? I would be using some chrome spraypaint thats suppose to used on cars. No exhaust really gets under the wings so im not worried about it coming off.
Also do you think chrome is a good color for orientation, and is there a certain way I should make the stripes? I was planning on making like 4 wide stripes on the bottom of the wing and some smaller ones on the bottom of the horiz. stab.

RE: Spraypainting covering
Chrome will disappear in the air, use any contrasting color.
Mask, scuff the area with steel wool or alike, clean and paint.
Remove the masking tape about a minute after painting so the edge of the paint will lay down (flow) so you will not feel so much of an edge.
