Tell me what to use or even what not to use.If you can post pics,I whould love to see them .The canopy is yellow and I would like to mask of some flames and put down a base color [blue] and leave the flames yellow. Any advise would be welcome. Oh Yeah Please and thank you.

i just used a can of spray paint for plastic.. this was a total white canopy with a clear window. i taped off the window and painted the canopy first.. then i let it dry good and taped of the canopy and painted the wind shield.. i then bought some new decals and applied them.. it didnt turn out too bad..
i more or less just had an extra canopy and wanted to experiment.. i will probably just buy a prepainted one. but i will use this one until i learn how to hover/fly.. also i didnt really take my time or it could have turned out better.. jake
let me know if the pictures showed up.. i cant tell from here..it says they did..
