<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Scott,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That's pretty much how I did my two Smaragds which
you've seen. However, the paint I used was for car bodies and I found the
spray can to be awful with lots of spitting. I ended up with the stuff in the
bottle and airbrushed it after thinning it twice the amount that the
directions called for.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=260582605-06022006> I've painted canopies with transparent paint
and it comes out pretty good. Bob Pastorello has pictures of this technique
on his website I think. Basically I just use a can of Testors #1257
Transparent blue paint - apply the paint on the inside of course. You have
to apply it evenly or it will look like cr@#. I also mask the outside of the
canopy to prevent over spray from sticking to the outside surface. I don't
know if there's an amber color, but I do know that R/C car paint has a
"window tint" color. That might be close. R/C car paint is lacquer based
however, so you may want to test it on a piece of scrap material to make
sure it doesn't deform the canopy.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
