Just a heads up for those who want to both build composite airplanes and paint them any color. High Temp Epoxy Resin in stock | Fibre Glast
Heat Distortion temperature is at 309°F, which is a couple degrees higher than than Vinylester (~300°F). More importantly, it has about 3 times the tensile strength of Vinylester (36,000psi vs 12000psi; 248MPa vs 82MPa). Still not as strong as room temperature Epoxy (45000psi; 310Mpa), but probably the best bet without going with prepreg products.
Now to find a sandwich material that can go up to 300°F...

57000psi/400°F
