The planes Thunder Tiger is selling ( Modelfly / ARC ) can be painted with any automobile paint ( as long as it's fuel proof ). I painted one with a spray can ( auto touch up ) and it looked good till I finally had to retire it. I'm using "Krylon " on the Beaver I have now and it's been holding up for a lot of years, about 12 I think. By the way most of my time has been spent in the South and hot weather, NO cracking. ENJOY !!! RED
