Dollar store acrylic paints work fine.

I also used Tamaya safely, though many recommend keeping a 30cm distance when spraying

If you are looking for a really bright red, check out Flirt Alert under the their Behr brand, really stands out in the sky.

Picture looks great!

How does it hold up to scuffing or light scratches?

I have been using the Dollarama poster paints. So many colours and you can mix-and-match them to suit your needs. Find them in the craft section, there is a large rack with all kinds of them. Even the silver paints on pretty good.

paint for foam airplanes

any suggestions on what paint I can use to repaint some old foam EDF planes I have

I can either brush it on or maybe spray. Need to change the grey airplane to something like red and white so I can see it

Sucks to get old
