Thanks, everyone. There were a few pinholes here and there but a little Perfect Plastic Putty fixed them right up. The Mr Surfacer sticks to the resin well, I've had no more problems with paint peeling. I had a delay waiting for paint, but Sprue Brothers to the rescue with some Hataka C156 Aggressor Blue and Gunze 329 Blue Angels Yellow. I think it will look pretty close to the colors of the restored Stearman I used to fly once I get a gloss coat on. Like everyone else I like and obsess about getting the right blue and yellow, but the sad truth is the USAAF found that the yellow doped fabric had a short life and most trainers were just silver doped overall. Boring.
