It's been years since I was into R/C aircraft so I am really rusty. Can you paint any of the popular heat-shrink plastic covering films? If so, which types/brands are paintable? What do you use to paint them (special paints and/or tricks)? Will the paint come off easily or can it be a permanent finish?

I was thinking most films would not accept any kind of paint, but I want to be sure. Thanks!

Whoa, not too many R/C aircraft folks over here. In fact, I haven't seen any busy forums on that subject? Anyway, in case anyone comes to this thread looking for the same thing, I found the answer by visiting the home page for Coverite and also for Monokote (manufactured by Top Flite). If you rub the film down with steel wool it is paintable Yeah! :)
