I know you are across the pond somewhere, but, what type of primer and paint did you use? Can I use regular spray paint from wal- mart ( that's the store where all us rednecks shop, kinda like hardware/toy/clothing/hunting/fishing/diaper/pet/cigarette/grocery outlet mall, all in one!) I know it sounds too good to be true, but, I promise, they are everywhere! Anyway, painting over the covering is okay? Thanks for your expertise and you have a beautiful plane there!
