Default Painting

Hi dose anyone know any videos I can download or tutorials to how to spray paint a design onto a model. I'm looking at spraying my ARC Modelfly jupiter blue but with yellow triangles on the wing.

I'd really appreciate the help I don't want to ruin my new model by a poor paint job thanks

Don't know of any on the Internet, and couldn't find anything here in the "How To" articles. I have Harry Higley's "Tom's Techniques" and "No Secrets Finishing" that I run to with painting issues. I'm certainly no authority (shake the can of TopFlite Lusterkote 'till the ball rattles and then spray in straight, level passes starting before and ending after the piece - that's the extent of my painting knowledge).
