Painting of the A/C

Does anybody have experience using some other brand paint on the top of Randolph colored buturate? It seems there isn't resale in Finland for those Randolph paint products.

In this problem, I have to paint over old foreign register markings and paint Finnish register markings instead. Unfortunately can of original color paint that came with the planr was not enough for the job.

So if anybody knows what else can be used without worrying consequencies (ie. possible reaction between old and new paint...)

The original surface is heat shrinked fabric (is that dacron or ceconite) painted with Randolph buturate dope...

I painted over my ceconite that was painted in Aerothane with Latex housepaint.

When I bought my plane someone had used latex over the original finish, it washed off in big sheets with the garden hose. Your results may vary especially if you do a proper prep job before painting. It all worked out in the end, when I removed the covering to redo it I found that the longerons had been rusted through so I basically had to start over.
