I plan on glassing a plane and painting it using Latex Paint; the base color scheme will be natural or bare Aluminum with 'Red Rescue Search Markings' on the wings as pictured; the red of the Maple Leafs in the Roundels should match the color red of the Search Markings as should the red color of the spinner; a couple of questions:

First: If I use Decals for the Roundels, I can proably match a Red Color Latex for the Red Search Markings to match the Red Color of the Maple Leafs in the Roundels; can I use this same Red Latex on the metal Spinner, and will it be durable; I will be using a gas moter and hand starting; any additional steps needed for using Latex on metal?

Second: In the event that I need to use enamel such as LusterKote on Metal Spinners; can I use this paint on Latex for the Search Markings?

Finally, there is the possibility that I will be painting the Maple Leafs and Roundels; in which case I can match the paints together to that of the red enamel; however, if I could use the same Latex for everything would be best.

Thanks, Doug.

Thanks Sean, I may take you up on that, I'm just trying to formulate my plan for this Mustang, a few options to consider, not trying for Scale Masters, just an awsome Sport Scale Mustang; I am also considering Aluminum tape and/or 'Flite Metal'; brings up another question, can you paint on 'Aluminum paint or 'Flite Metal'?


Here's a photo of some an application of Aluminum tape.

Hi!
Yes! You can use any paint you want over those materials.
