Default RE: Inexpensive Paint?

Hi Hal

I have used Latex exterior paint on many jets with good results. I followed Roy Vallincorts article in Model Airplane News. If you look around you might be able to find it on the web. The finish is great for scale camo birds, but for high gloss sport layout's you just can't beat good auto paint.

I tried an all water based finish using latex as a base coat, and Future floor acrylic floor finish as the clear. It worked ok and looked ok from 3 feet, but it is very difficult to get an auto type finish this way.
