RE: Covering A Painted surface
"Les, ur P40 looks amazing, and i really like the brushed aluminum look- somewhat shiny, but not too glassy- looks more natural."
Thank you. That was exactly what I had in mind.
"Any suggestions on paint mfgrs that have fuel proof paint in spray cans "
You are going to have to test and test and test ANYTHING you are going to use; but keep in mind, there is going to be very little raw fuel that gets anywhere on the plane unless you are very sloppy in fueling. The rest is going to be oily residue with all the nitro burned off.
"I'm not sure if they would be compatible with glow fuel, so I would probably have to use a fuel proof clear coat over it."
Then you are back to worrying about the compatabiliity between the paint and the clear coat. Kind of a Catch 22, in alll respects.
