What Paint for Heli

[ChazAxl]

I have a starlet 50 - white fuse - looking at giving it some colour - what kind of paint is suitable? Nothing spectacular - just 1 or 2 colour job.

Dulux super gloss enamle is good. It is easy to work with and sticks to gelcoat well. You have to remove the masking before it sets rock hard though, or it can chip off along the edges as you remove the tape.

Thanks
Is that spray or brush on?

Either. You can buy it in a spray can ($$$) or buy it in a can and shove it through your spray gun, or be low tech and use a brush. I hand painted my last model, but used a spray on the one before. Both seem to be sticking on just fine.
