Basically any auto paint will work. Acrylic Lacquer is easiest to spray and quickest drying. It also compounds very easily. Can't get it in major CA cities anymore :( Acrylic Enamel will give a harder finish and better shine (especiallly if you use the hardener). Can't get it in major CA cities anymore :( The new environment Dupont Chroma-sys. paints are nice, but expect to pay about $100.00 per mixed quart. I use IMRON. It is nasty stinky, and very toxic, but provides a nice hard surface for moulded wings. Can't get it in major CA cities anymore, so I periodically go to Santa Cruz, where it is still available in in a new 'environment friendly' form.
