Status: online 		I covered my Kadet in 20th Century Fabric. I just used Rust-oleum Protective Gloss Enamel rattle can paint from Lowes. It went on easily and has held up well to 10% nitro. I wouldn't use the 20th Century again. It is VERY heavy and the fabric itself has not held up very well. It is also hard to clean. 20 Century recommends cleaning with a 50/50 solution of water and alcohol, but it doesn't do a very good job. The Areomaster on the left was painted with an epoxy mix in the early 70's and looks better than the fabric on the right I finished up early last year.....
