Paint for RTFs ?

Paint for RTFs ?
I have a couple of Cox RTF airplanes I'd like to paint. Hopefully with a product that sprays easily, doesn't attack the plastic, and dries to a reasonably fuel-proof finish.
Any suggestions?
I've painted an electric F8F Bearcat with Krylon Fusion for Plastics and it worked well, but have no idea if it would be fuel-proof and no longer have the airplane.
Thanks!
Dennis

Re: Paint for RTFs ?
Hey Dennis,
I traded some notes with Ken on this subject, and am gonna be trying this paint on a foam Carl Goldberg Ranger 42.
Haven't tried it yet. It's applied wth sponge brushes.
I'll post the our notes once I find them.
