Call me cheap, but I've always used rustoleum with great results. I've also used the store brand and had excelent results too. I started using craft paint ( $0.99) for 2 oz on my electrics with great results. As an added bonus they spray very easily. and clean up with water. I just finsihed up a Kougar and painted the plastic parts with the craft paint. I sprayed with clear. They look GREAT, but I'll have to see how they hold up.

BTW I tried the Coverite paint once, and it was junk. Turned to snot when raw fuel got on it. I stripped (using raw fuel) , and sprayed with rustoleum and it was fine.

There is another jet jock that uses rustoleum by the gallon. I can't remember who at the moment

There is alway Chromlusion paint at $413.29 a quart. GEE

I recently bought some Cub Yellow and Midnight Blue. The yellow was as you described, very thin, hard to apply. The blue worked fantastic. End result was good after several tries and some frustration.

I use a psudo Chromlusion paint that I got at the craft store. I Believe the brand is Createx, and it is in their Auto Air line. $6 for 4 OZ. Not exactly ( OK not even close) to the $400 a quart stuff, but gives an interesting effect that gets noticed at the field.
I have the Blue, and it is mostly light gold, but when you look at it at different angles it shimmers a nice royal blue.

I have it on a Corona canopy ( electric Heli) and I had a minor spill. The canopy was cruched up pretty good, but I simply pushed it back into shape, and the paint didn't chip or peel at all.

Thanks Rca ill check it out. Bkf
