The entire process that I followed painting my multiplex twinstar II with a higher visibility paint scheme. Flat-white all around wasn't working for me.
Steps involved were: 1) Clean the plane with alcohol to remove any chemicals from the moulding process when it was created 2) Sand down the entire body of the plane (using 300 grid sandpaper) to provide a smooth surface 3) Fill in the larger gashes with lightweight spackle 4) Tape off the important bits I didn't want to get any polycrylic in (pushrod holders, cockpit, engines, control surface joints) 5) Lay down a base-layer of polycrylic to paint over 6) Lightly sand the base-layer in preparation of painting 7) Mask off the areas that I didn't want painted black 8) Paint it black 9) Remove black-masking and apply masking for red areas 10) Paint the town red 11) Remove masking tape from red areas, and patch up any spots that the masking tape tore off of the black paint (because I didn't wait long enough to let it dry) 12) Fix up any edges that weren't sprayed neatly with white paint, and fix the error I had on the one wing by hand with red paint 13) Cover entire thing with final protective layer of polycrylic 14) Happiness

Madness! I'm surprised you didn't go with some left/right asymmetry, but I suppose that'll be taken care of when you add the wingtip strobes that regulation requires.
