Default Scale Props

I found out the hard way that you cannot paint a Master Airscrew prop with acrylic paints . The paint just peeled off . I then tryed prefect paint primer that seemed to stick ,then painted the acrylic on looked good . I then painted my tip looked even better . I was then going to put lusterkote clear over it . I did this on my inter aileron strust over aluminium and it turned out great . So I was home free I thouht till I sprayed on the clear and bam !! . All the paint started to crinkle . I guess that I will have to get a wood prop and shape it a little and the paint . Also can you fly with a prop you painted your self. I am posting a pic of the plane I am putting the prop on . The engine on this plane is a 1.08 asp with a 15x8 prop that looks very scale in size .
