Default RE: Painting My TF P 51.

The TF P-51 shown here was painted with cheap spraycans. That was powered with a US 41 gasser.

The Spitfire was sprayed with acrylic house paint ex small testpots using a cheap Badger unit. Even the roundels were painted with that stuff - using 3M blue plastic tape as masking. Clear polyurethane was brushed over all that to provide a fuel resistant finish. The Spitfire is powered with an old OS 1.08 and has been flying for around 3 years and still holding up pretty well.
