Just finished mine today in basic camo colors, tried to give it a little dirty look.
Looks good...where'd you get the decals?
Another alternative to water based paint or glassing would be ULTRA COAT. Takes low heat, seals nicely AND forms a very protective skin over the foam. Colors.....what do you want?
ESC arming prob...check make sure all trims are set neutral except the throttle, which should be all the way down. Also check radio settings/switches (throttle hold etc.). I've had NO problem with my stock ESC to date, but I generally fly at 1/2 throt or 3/8 throt....I don't push it hard. I use full power on take off, then back it off at flying altitude.
