Hey my old uncle used to say asbestos never hurt anybody before they discovered it causes cancer.

Well, that’s something. I made a review video about it .
The amount of detail you put into that is amazing!!

Not as complex as some so far and the checker flag was all done with a pen but I'm happy with it

Here's how I've been painting my planes lately. I like the look of this Krylon pink, but I have to recommend you all stay away from it for stuff that'll be stored inside. I like to hang my planes on my bedroom wall, but that isn't happening anytime soon with the two on the right. They're still giving off fumes over a week after painting, and live in the garage until the smell goes away, if it ever does. What are some recommendations for spray paint that won't add a lot of weight and will dry enough to be stored inside? I just maidened my new X-29, which I absolutely love, but it needs some color.
Suggestions would be appreciated

That's odd - I prefer Krylon spray paint and I don't have issues about fumes. I guess I haven't tried to sleep with my planes! Give em a couple more days, it'll be fine. In fact, if like me you like Krylon over Rustoleum for all the other reasons, a week in the garage is a small price to pay.

You're likely aware of this - Rustoleum is the favorite around here, so you could try that.
From experience the smell's different but I can't tell you how long it lasts. I can tell you Krylon dries to the touch very quickly but Rustoleum seems to take longer to be able to handle. I've found Rustoleum even two days later is still - not exactly tacky, \but it still has a sort of "grab" to the touch. That suggests to me that Rustoleum is a sort of gummy cure on a molecular level, while Krylon cures to just a very hard surface, like epoxy.
None of that solves your fumes issue! Sorry I can't answer that.
You might try thin coats next time, just to see if it helps.
I have been airbrush painting polycarbonate RC car bodies for many years, and noticed some colors having excessive fumes for many days after painting. I eventually discovered that spraying much thinner coats would greatly reduce the lingering fumes. And, be aware that high humidity while painting can make the fumes last longer.
