so since my base color for this scheme is black, do you think i would have good results trying to paint my white and blue over the black or should i just cover it in white and paint the whole plane? i am planning on using klass kote paint or possibly rustolium because it will be a gas plane
No, painting over black is a problem. TEX gets shrunk with just an iron so there is no reason to over shrink it. It will do what you want on the glass. It goes down with less heat then other coverings too. You just have to remember if you have a light color going over a dark color you can see the dark through the light. If you think you will have a problem try some test pieces. Borrow some colors from friends so you don't have to buy it before testing. Klass Kote is over kill for a gas plane. As much as I like it I wouldn't spend that kind of money for a gasser. I also wouldn't be using gloss paint on TEX. In the air I like the non reflective surface. If I wanted glossy fabric I would use C 21. TEX can be bought in colors so I try to use the colors they have and forget about painting. If you want glossy just use plastic covering.
