RE: What paint to use
ChopperMike,
Over the years I've used latex,dope,and auto paint to coat my planes.
All will work well depending on what you want for results but I will not
recommendany of them.
My reason for repsonding to this thread is to urge you not to experiment
on a brand new plane. The end results could be very disappointing.
If your going to try something new, experiment on anything other than
a new project.
Regards,
Roby
