Paint the Ultracote ?
sure -
best paint I have found is called Short Cuts - by Krylon - works on UltraCote - and on our foamies
Do this
wipe down model with degreaser
mask on pattern
using a fine Soft Scrub (a fine plastic pad)
lightly dull the masked area . Do not sand the Ultracote!
wipe down with tack cloth.
shoot a couple of light coats .
If you feel flush --get some pro painter to first spray thinned laquer black/clear into entire inside of canopy -It looks just like a tint.
buy a Testors paint pen (or someones paint pen) in matching colors -to touch up any scratch if needed.


C'mon guys painting ain't rocket science .
Here is mine --------- AGAIN.
