Tell me something reasonable for a 14 year old...
And those who think making planes by savaging sunboard from poles and keeping the plane white is impossible see this..

You can use spray paints without any problem. That is almost reasonable for a 14 year old.

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



1. No spray paint adheres well on Corro. Even if you follow a regime of pre-treatment (thinner scrub) it will peel off. If you intend your model to have a reasonable life this is best avoided
2. Vinyl is the best option, but remember do not make a continuous covering; instead put a pattern. To get an idea see:  http://www.rcindia.org/rc-people/builds-i-have-posted-on-rci/
3. There are 2 common types of vinyl. One is the regular, which has a matte finish, and tends to be heavier. The other is "glossy"or "reflective"type. This is much lighter and has a vastly superior bond adhesion. The correct technique is to cut the pattern you want, spray household glass cleaner (Colin)on the Corro surface, peel of the backing film, apply the vinyl, wipe off excess liwuid with a clean soft cloth
4. Corro ( locally called Sunpack) Dealers keep different types and colours of Vinyl. The rate is Rs. 10-15 per running foot for regular, Rs. 15-20 for Reflective. A recommended brand of reflective vinyl is Nicolite, easily available at least in Delhi area. If you can't find a Corro dealer, go to a signboard maker. He can guide you to find the dealer, and he may just give you some end-cuts and scraps of Vinyl free of cost

Good luck, and let us know how it worked out

I presume you are talking of Corro sheets. The price in Delhi is 120₹ for 2.5-3 mm thickness, and 150 for 4 mm. Vinyl sheet is sold per running foot, in 2 feet width
