I was hoping some one had the answer to your question,Funny I was doing the same today looking in Home depot for paint...lol I want to paint the frame a light green color like the ww2 Hellcat had.I already used regular model paint on the cowl and if I could find a clear coat that was fuel proof it would help me too.I dont know why its so hard to find war bird flat colors in fuel proof.Spray cans would realy help.
