I had a bad experience with white lustrekote. A few weeks after spraying the flaps and ailerons of my T34B white, they started to turn a rusty color. I saw other planes at our airfield, also sprayed with lustrekote, do the same thing. I was using oil-based MinWax polyurethane over 3/4 ounce fiberglass cloth, then primer, then white Lustrekote. I would be really careful with Lustrekote if you insist on using it. Whenever I see a can of Lustrekote, I get braincramps!!! lol

If it was me, I would seriously consider using Ultracoat. As for stripes and other designs I like to use vinyl decals over Ultrakote because I want to keep it simple. As already suggested .... If you insist on painting maybe peel off all the monocote, apply natural Solartex, then paint with Rustoleum. Solartex also comes in colors and can be applied similar to Ulracote.
