I found with the Lusterkote Bright Yellow using a white primer first really helped. It is designed to go on light and not add excessive weight so multiple coats are a must.

I bought Solartex to cover my VK Models Fokker Triplane and will use either Rustoleum or Latex for the color and marking and then a satin cleacoat to make it fuel proof.
