I`m thinking of spraying my Rappy canopy and just wondered if anyone can give me some tips on preparing the plastic for spraying, and do I need to use special paint please, thanks in advance guys.

I wouldn't bother, a lot of effort for notice gain, and it its made from the same
Plastic as my raptor then it's really tricky to get right without it flaking off afterwards. -
The raptor canopy isn't the best for painting because the paint will just peel back off the plastic. You would be better off with some Vinyl & just make designs with that and stick them too it

Many people have tried and failed at painting the raptor canopy.
The problem is the plastic it's is made from something very much like milk bottle plastic, trying to get anything to stick to it is a nightmare!!!

I sort of thought that plasticoat might stick to it but their colour range is a bit limited to say the least, your canopy looks great sburv, thanks for the pic, and thanks for the heads up about HK carper2k, i`ll look on their website later see what they`ve got, i`m off flying in a short while and need to get ready now, thanks again.
