House paint doesn't hold up to glow fuel. I doubt that Duplicolor clear will, either. Both are fine when flying gas.

The wing rack is mounted on hinges. This allows it to lay flat against the wall, if necessary.

I'll probably shoot it with Rustoleum spray bombs and use a polyurethane clear coat, for protection.
