RE: Covering with Solartex help.
I agree, but on the plus side it will take less coats of Cub Yellow paint to achieve the desired look by starting with the Cub Yellow Solartex. I took a sample of the Solartex to Home Depot and had a quart of Yellow color matched.
Here is a pic of the starting of the rib stitching and tapes. The tapes from Pink-It are cut from the Cub Yellow Solartex. The tapes go down very well over the Solartex.
BTW: The stitching is from Scale Rib Stitch in Canada.
Later!!
