I got a couple of the Raptor 30 upgrade FG canopys from that chopper shop (cyberheli) in HK.
They come with a white finish and windshield area painted on.

Want to just skuff (remove the shine) part of white area and shoot a contrasting color on out of a spray can.

What paint will work on this material as regards resistance to residue from running 30% CP fuel and without useing a clear coat.

Run some brands by me avaliable from LHSs/Hardware/AutoParts stores that you know will work.

Alvin,

You can use plain old Rustoleum from Walmart. I have a friend who uses on his Futura Canopies. 30% Cool Power. You can use any of the colors, but not the clear coat. For some reason it is not fuel proof. I'm going to be using it on my Raptor 60.

I also used Rust-oleum Fluorescent paint after I first sprayed it with Bulldog Adhesion Promoter. Painted went on but was kind of rough. I lightly sanded with 600 Grit sandpaper which made colors look dull. I let
it sit 2 weeks and took it to a friend of mines auto paint shop and he shot it with PPG Clear. Brought the colors back to life and should be very fuel resistant. Only 1 gallon
thru my Raptor 30 since being painted and it still looks great! After each flying session I usually take canopy off so I can charge heli and wash canopy in sink.
