Default RE: Latex paint

I would also add that laytex paints are heavier and you can add a lot of weight to your plane.

I also sprayed some latex on some of my Warbirds and it went on pretty good. I added a little bit of Flotrol (spelling) and thinned with windshield washer fluid. Depending on your gun settings you will have to play with the thinning. I have only sprayed this on Prop models and would be weary about spraying latex on jets. Also one of the drawbacks to latex is that it takes almost 2 weeks for it to cure fully.
