I'm planning on using Behr Hi-gloss Enamel over the solartex. Any thoughts on this paint and will it be fuel-proof for a gas engine. Going to spray it on with my small spray gun. Thanks for any advice. Dick

Latex is fine, with gassers. You shouldn't need a clear coat.

Purchase exterior grade paint, as the interior colors aren't colorfast.

I spray Latex paint on my Solartex. I also clear coat it as it makes it easier to clean the plane after flying. The fabric weave coverings will get dirt and grime in the weave and it is hard to clean up. With a clear coat it is a lot easier to clean up. Good Luck, Dave

I goes right on without a problem and there is no need for a clear coat with enamel, fine with gas but it isn't hot fuel proof with glow.
