Default Rustoleum?

I hate enamals, takes too long to dry, picks up more dust, and sometimes never seem to completly cure. Even polyurethane takes too long to cure IMO. Lacquer's dry to touch in 15 minutes, and you can fly the next day. BTW Sig and Brodak dope is basicly a lacquer and take longer to dry than Acrylic Lacquer. Brodak dope was formulated by control line champ Windy Urtnowski. His before this his favorite paint job was 3 coats of silver dope sand until the primer shows, another couple of coats of silver, sand, and finish with acrylic lacquer. Acrylic lacquer fills quicker than dope, cures faster, and about the same fuel proof qualities. If planning to use high nitro you can overcoat it with clear polyurethane and it will still be fuel proof when you scratch the poly.
