How about Hot Pink and Black trim or Cream with Maroon trim.

I have started to use Nelson Hobbies paints, use water as thinner and with their cross linker is nitro proof to 20% or so.

Another I like is Klasskot epoxy paints, absolutely nitro proof, a bit more $$ and relatively odour free.

Failing that you could always fall back on old stinky dope, Sig or Brodak.

I like the design of that plane. I may have to consider something in a .15 size. I have been messing about with a couple of 1/2a size control line planes this summer (a return to cl from nearly 20 years ago). The 1/2a's are OK but the .15 size have a bit more presence; I have a Brodak Flying Clown on the building board now.

Can't wait to see finished pic's.
