I've painted Solartex with just about every type of paint with good success. My favorite is no longer available--Petit's epoxy paint--but, if you are using gasoline most any inexpensive paint works well, even the cheap spray can stuff from the local thrift shop. I do not use primer and do not have any paint chipping or peeling problems. A top coat of some kind is very desireable on any of the cloth type coverings as the weave will hold dirt very well and make cleaning difficult as compared the the films.
