I have found that Latex paint from Lowes or Home Depot works very well and price is great. I buy the small tin of sample paint for about 3 or 4 dollars. They can match any color you want, just take a sample of want you want the match. I have used the painted and the unpainted Solartex, and matched the unpainted parts as well. I have built several Balsa USA kits and have used the painted and I have painted others. The latex paint can be sprayed on or brushed and sealed the clear Minwax Polyclic water based. I have planes that or over 6 years old that still looks great, also you can weather paint as well. Here are so examples of my planes covered with Solartex.

Colored Solartex unpainted parts; (cowl) painted with latex:












All of these are painted Latex








I hope this helps
