Derek   The spray cans may be lacquer. I noticed it said to clean up with Lacquer thinner and it dried very fast. If it is Lacquer then dope will go over it. Some times clear dope does odd thing to semi clear colors. It needs white under it to come out true. Notice how parts of the yellow look like green. I used grey primer under all the color except where the yellow meets the red on the wing and there the yellow looks like yellow. The plane gained 2.25 oz with primer, color, and the clear coat.
