Default pre-seaming solartex

hi all i will be using solartex to cover my next plane a 100cc size culp special. my question is can i pre seam solartex like you can with monokote? my meaning here is to take your base color which for me is black then on top of glass attach the trim together with 1/4-1/2 inch overlaps then apply the whole sheet to the wing in one shot eliminating all the extra base color material under the trim colors. my scheme will be fairly simple with blue full cord scallops with a white accent scallop then a black base color. the blue will be painted on but the white i was planning on using covering for so that i only have to paint one line instead of two. i would then clear coat the rest of the bare covering

the pics are a work in progress but it gives you an idea of my scheme

also i will not be pre-seaming the fuse too many curves but i will still be using white covering for the accent and paint the blue
