thanks for the info i have used world tex before and loved it. i have a little bit of white left over from that project so i may play with it and see what happens. i have used 21 centry fabric before and did not really like it so i will not be using it. i just like the look of painted fabric with a semi gloss to it. i dont want the super shiny look of monokote or ultrakote for this plane. it is a new-age plane designed to look like a barnstormer

so rustolium is a good paint for this fabric?
Yes but it is pretty glossy. I also don't like C-21 but have used it. I don't have any ST in black but I do have a little green and yellow left if you want me to send you some scrap to test with. If I over lap the green with the yellow you can see the dark color through the light. I too have used Ultracote to stripe and trim ST with and it works very well.
