pilotkelowna,

Thanks for that info. I have printed that off and will inwardly digest. I still didn`t see a suggested paint/water mix though. I`ll start something like 1 to 1 and just experiment from there.

Bill, after next Saturday you`ll be proud to be seen in that black jersey. I gather many of the yankee products you read about on here don't ring any bells here downunder, but I just use common garden acrylic housepaint. I`m told that Resene is better quality than Benjamin Moore, but how would I know. Resene worked fine brushed on my Eindecker. I wonder if British Paints product is available in USA?

After a lot of homework I did find that some Rust-oleum cans may be available here if you go looking hard enough. I`ll give that a try sometime too.
