Damn, sorry to hear that. I think paint is one of those things that can really sneak up on you. When airbrushing, it feels like hardly anything is going on the plane. Even brushing it on... same thing. But then you look at how much paint you've gone through and see how much it actually weighs! Ack! I'm still building my Extra and am trying to keep it as light as possible. My paint scheme is mostly going to be white, so that's good. I'm going to try as hard as I can to keep paint to 1 to 1 1/2 ounces. If so, it will be under 20 oz AUW which should hopefully help out the low speed characterisics of it considerably (Ultrafly's spec is 22 oz.).
As for the glue, I've epoxied depron before, and had good sucess. I use 15 minute stuff. Seems to work ok. Foam safe CA on the other hand has been real tricky for me. Seems to never dry if you get the tiniest bit too much coverage.
