RE: How to paint a cowl?
yup... use blue masking tape and just about any type of spray paint.. I'd recommend you primer it first... then go over it with Top Flite Lustrecoat clear or a similar hobby type clear that's glow proof...

PS you can also do latex paint if you want custom colors... but you'll have to REALLY make sure you do the clear as latex is not glow fuel proof...
