Default How to paint instead of monokote

Hi All,

I recetly got the Sig Hog-Bipe kit and Iwas thinking about painting it instead of covering with monokote.
Is this a good idea, or just plain stupid? My covering skills are not that great, and I have always wanted to try for the better finish look with paint.

If this is a good idea - the next questions is how? I seem to recall my late father covering his planes with fibreglass and then painting. Is this needed? How do I go about using paint? What are the steps involved?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to furnish.
