Default RE: Looking for paint compatability for 21st Century Fabric

ORIGINAL: TJR1

It seems the 21st Century paints are limited or not being produced anymore. Does anyone know what other paints might be compatable with this iron-on fabric and techniques for application. I do have a 1 oz. gravity feed dual action Air Brush.

I frequently spray Krylon over 21st Century fabric. I just mask, sand with 400 grit, and spray.

The pictured MonoCoupe is over ten years old. Gas residue seems to pose no problems.

A friend used Krylon on a glow powered Chipmunk. By wiping down the model after a days flying, his finish lasted until he sold it. (over 3 years.)
