Default Customizing monokote/ultracote looks (ie painting on/detailing) Hangar 9 Spitfire

Hello all, I have a hangar 9 ARF 60 spitfire and was wanting to do a few things to perk it up. First off, I'm looking to add exhaust marks, and panel lines with wear marks (such as silver wear from paint wear). Is it possible to paint onto the covering with spray paint and if so, how do I go about it and with what paint? As for panel lines is there a marker that is fuel resistant? And the silver paint? You all see where I'm going with this....I really know nothing about it. I've read a little about roughing the coating before painting, and this also flattens it. If this is paintable, would it then be possible to sand a bit of the entire model and paint the camo scheme a different color (like the MK V's and on with a bluish camo color), or is this just too much? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, CW
