The flourescent paint was $3.85, and the black and white were $1.00 each. All were spray cans. Not bad.

if you don't want to break the bank buying lipos and a charger, i recommend the zippy lipos and the $38 charger from hobbycity.com. i have some of the flightmax 25c 3s 5000mah packs and even with my massive 45x77mm motor, the packs have topped out at 102F when the ambient temp outside was 95F. they also maintain their balance well. i used a neighbor's high-end voltmeter (he's an electrician) and according to it, the charger charged the pack to 12.60 volts exactly and the cell voltages were 4.199, 4.196, 4.205. not bad considering the charger was dirt cheap.
