Default Props

Does anyone know of a good on-line place that sells airplane props.

I am looking for mostly electric props of all shapes, sizes, and colours

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Tower last time I looked. As to colors, Ritt Dye as long as you want the darker colors. Just go look at the APC web site.

Thanks guys,

Both these sites have tons of props.

Another question i have is, Can i paint the prop and if so what type of paint should i use.

I like the plane to look more authentic rather than a gray prop.

Thanks again.

I use a standard auto touch up paint from any auto supply store, or even Walmart. It comes with its' own brush so no messing around with masking, or finding a paint brush. Just remember to thouroughly clean the prop with alcholol prior to any painting. I also try to use paint to balance my props, if they are not too far out. I hate to start removing plastic if its not necessary.

Thanks for the reply. Will spray paint work also? There is that spray paint for plastic. Will it last with all that friction?

Thanks Again.
