A slightly more environmentally friendly way of doing this
might be to paint
the thing with raw egg yolks and leave out to bake in the
Sunshine which I
understand you fellows also have in the USA. The sulphides
in the egg should
give a nice matt black finish. The whites should contribute
to a nice
meringue which in accordance with Eric's observations will
be the biggest in
the World. [However please dispose of the eggshells
considerately]

Good Morning,
We chaps here in foggy England are always being told that
everything in the
States is bigger and better, so why not find a plating shop
with a large
tank and anodise the fuselage? Lots of jolly colours to
choose from as well!
Regards
