Default RE: Solartex Questions??

ORIGINAL: stevenmax50

If you wanted alot of detail on your color scheme, would you put down a base color solartex and then mask and paint similarly to a Koverall paint job? I guess what confuses me is that I am reading that solartex is better if you paint it. But doesnt it come already painted??? Can you get it in a base white? And does it require a primer at all?
I'm my experience bleeding only becomes an issue when

1- You put the paint on too heavy. It can bleed under the tape on any surface, and more caution needs to be taken with the fabric weave,, it's all in the application, use light misty coats not heavy wet coats.

2-If you are going to paint markings or stripes over the factory colored ST. You'll want to seal or base coat it first, It will bleed very easy on not painted ST,, I learned that he hard way

Good luck
