That is interesting, latex house paint. I think I had read some other threads somewhere about it, but I'm not sure.

I finished a TWISTER a couple months ago and used RUSTOLEUM on it. On the balsa I first used R-OLEUM wood primer and sanded each coat almost back to the wood to fill the grain. It still left some of the grain showing when I painted the wood parts, the wing I covered in ULTRAKOTE, since I had several rolls laying around. The R-OLEUM bright yellow and the U-KOTE bright yellow are almost a perfect match, and since this was just for "training" purposes, I wasn't too worried about the final outcome. But I think it looks okay for it's purpose, it won't win any beauty contests.

My next project I am going to try doping, as I plan on a full fuse plane and a little more attention to detail. And a better paint or covering job. Here is my TWISTER results, haven't flown it yet.

As things stand, the weather is supposed to be great for Sunday, and I am going to fly. We haven't had a break around here for months, weather-wize, so if nothing happens, I'll get to fly this weekend.
