I tried several method for painting the milk jugs. I found the simplist way for me is. bulldog adhesion promotor,parma faskolor,clear coat. It is not the best looking I have seen but I wanted to get it painted without a lot of hassle. I could not get the paint to stick in any way till the bulldog product(from pep boys). the parma paints worked well for me. easy clean up. I used lustrekote clear to seal things up. If you are going to use the fasfluorecent colors they are transparent so be sure the canopy is clean. I know the yellow won't cover anything. I wound up using a white layer first. Just my 2 cents. I have seen many tips on here for great looking canopies but figure I am not the only on here who doesn't all day to spend messing with it. I got mine done in three colors in about 2 hrs. and was out flying in three.

The Parma paint works well. No smell, no mask, no thinner besides water, spray anywhere you wish. The neon colors are nice and bright. Wide selection of other colors plus pearls. They clearcoat very well with automotive urethane. Not brittle.

A few issues: In spite of what the package says, water will ALWAYS attack the finish. Wet sanding b/f clearing is out. Though a little of a nuisance, I think it's actually good, because you can NEVER completely ruin a piece. Just wash off and start over. For those who are learning to airbrush, this is a good way to go. You can get a gel coated canopy, prime with a laquer primer for prep, and try a dozen different designs until you're satisfied. The tech. for bleach bottles has already been mentioned.
