      Here is something I have discovered. I can not remember( old timer's) where I got this idea(if this was your idea anybody out there.....please forgive me) but it seems to work great for me. I go to Home Depot and have them match the paint on the plane part exactly and get their $2.96 sample. I use that for touch ups and large areas and will follow up with a coat of clear dope or lacquer to seal it good. Seems to work for me. However, I am only using EP in my planes. I do not know how it would work with Nitro. Rick

        I have done similar as I would take a smaller section sample of a plane and go to Hobby Lobby and get some acrylic paint to match the part. They have a very huge collection of colors.
