Maybe a stupid question but what types of paint are out there today for painting a canopy? I was in the lhs the other day and I don't remember seeing the nice big rack of formula U like in the old days! Is "hot fuel proof" not around any more or is there some form of top coat to use over regular enamel (sp:oops:) based paint.?

I shot Top Flite Lustrekote clear over the regular spray paint on my Hawk canopy. So far it seems to be holding up well! They make that paint in a variety of colors too:
