Default Solartex



I've done some searches and am kind of confused.

I would like to use this to cover my build, but would also like to paint on the fabric some. I'm not quite clear on the procedure since all ofSolarlfilm's products don't seem to beavailable in the US.

I'd like to use my airbrush and accessories so cans of Krylon are out. It is a wood model. I will not be painting any plastic or fiberglass, but I could paint some metal (landing gear), if I desire. It is a gas model.

Do I just need to buy some "natural" colored Solartex and then paint the whole model? Do I buy some colored and paint other colors over it? What paints work (no need for warbird colors this time)?

I guess basically, I'm trying to find a "how to" on using Solartex, painting, and maybe sealing (even though it is a gas plane).
