I am also going with the Krylon Fusion since it is great for
plastic and have also decided to go with the Testor's Model
Paint you mentioned for the logo and lettering. Is the
(brand name) Dupli-Color - Auto Spray - Clear Top Coat a
good choice? There isn't anything listed with regard to the
temperature it can withstand. P.S. - I noticed on Shinoo's
Sector 111 site that the carbon fiber covers he sells also
come with the information that the black carbon fiber will
turn to an olive green over time due to heat.
