I have an HBFP2 and would like to do something different with the colors.  I have an airbrush, but I am not very proficient.  That aside, what type of paint would best be used on the canopy?  Since it's electric, I don't have to worry about anything petroleum based getting on it.  I'm assuming a little 600 grit to rough it up, then some kind of primer, some kind of color and some kind of clear?
