paint

Hello I am building the Ft Viggen, and am trying to decide on paint schemes. I am thinking of doing a tiger stripe design, but I am open to other ideas. Thank you!

I recently finished the fuselage of my FT P-40, and it's my first time painting. I'm not happy with the color—it’s too dark and maybe a bit too shiny. I used Rust-Oleum Paint + Primer in Hunt Club Green Satin. Maybe I should have used a flat green. Anyway, I want a spray paint color similar to...

First question... what is the scale of the mighty mini corsair? Trying to get the scale so I can get the right size landing gear. Second question... What primer and paint would I use? Third question: If I want four cell power, which power pack would I buy?

I was thinking about a yellow lightning bolt Cub style with a white body? Or maybe even stars and bars?

I painted my FliteTest planes! Rust-Oleum spray paint, matte base coat with gloss color coat + gloss clear coat. I didn't end up needing to sand for good adhesion even on taped areas. I had some dollar-store foam core board and some lasercut semi-waterproof. I had already been flying the planes...

When i paint my fiber-glass fuse, the paint and primer starts to bubble up. Any idea why. I used normale water based spackle. And epoxy resin

Here is a shot of my new Simple Scout with 3D printed cylinders, wheels, and pilot. I also did the vinyl decals myself. I'm very excited about what this new technology will bring to this hobby!

Just scratch built my second 4ch FT Simple Cub with pontoons, and I'm liking the finished product more than my first attempt - enough to want to paint it! So I'm not a veteran of the Flite Test community or anything (having only built two planes), but I do work as an automotive painter at a...

Howdy - Just put together a 4ch FT Simple Cub and spent a rainy evening adjusting gimbals and programming my new QX7 tx. I've watched all the FT videos I can find, so here I am on the forums! I've always wanted to get into RC flight since I was a kid, but was only ever able to peruse the...

In preparation of painting my FT Sea Duck, I wanted a simple and effective way to produce a natural aluminum finish. Peter Sripol's method of sanding everything first produced excellent results; however, it is time consuming. I evaluated three enamel spray paints with and without primer. For...
