I use “Createx AutoAir" latex paint for the color and then a two part automotive clear coat. (Dupont Croma clear)  The auto clear coat is the only product, except epoxy paint, that will stand up to 30% nitro.

Both are way toxic, so wear the right gear or get your local body shop to do the clear.  Often times if you talk nice they will do them for free (at the end of a car job)

You can put automotive clear on most latex, enamel paints. You should test first.

Any more question?

Thanks Guys,

I bought Sheldon a CF canopy before christmas and it is still in the box.

Anyone know if they sell Canopy's at IRCHA.  We are going to be down there and I would like to buy a custom painted one.

I use the same as mentioned above.  Autoair colors and dupont 2 part automotive clearcoat.  the clear works great with the paint, and the paint is a breeze to work with.  spray it on and hit it with a bit of heat from a heat gun and its dry.  

the autoair i dont use a mask most of the time, but i probably should.  its water based so its not TOO bad.  but the clear is a different story.  if you do it yourself, get a carbon filter mask.  something that protects against fumes.  dust masks wont work.

just my $.02
