Default Painting My TF P 51.

Ok guys I have glassed my P 51 with .75 cloth and used Minwax Polycrylic all went well. I have read so much about painting and it has all started to run together. This might make it easier for me to grasp if I just state what I would like to do and get in put on that from the guys who know as this is my first glass and paint job. I plan to prime the surface for imperfections, make smooth then prime coat for painting lightly sand this then prepare to paint. I do not have the fancy tools and would like to roll the paint with foam rollers. I would like to use flat latex outdoor house paint for the job. Once completely dry I am in no hurry here I would like to apply the stick on insignia to the painted surface. Once this is complete and I am sure the surface is very dry I would like to brush a thin layer of Minwax polycrylic to protect the surface. Ok this is what I would like to do but I am not sure if this will work as I said I have read alot on this but I am just not soaking it in that way, Will this work ? is anything wrong with this plan ? This is not for competition results just want a glassed bird with a painted scheme to fly the crap out of. If it matters I will be using a gasser for power. Thanks for any opinions/ideas. Kevin.
