Default RE: what type of paint to use on monocote?

Monokote can take any kind of paint you wish to spray, lightly scuff the areas to be painted with steel wool, the finest grade, clean the surface well before painting, try to use paints that are fuelproof or after the final color coats, spray some clear to protect the paint from nitro based fuels, if you are not well versed in the world of painting, and are going to be using spray cans I recommend Rustoleum paints, except for the silver, chrome, metallics and flat black they are quite resistan to glow fuel, I've been using it for many years, I do not recommend Krylon unless you are going to clear coat afterwards and I would stay away from the paint cans sold by hobby shops and mail order houses with the names of brand coverings, they are mostly junk.
