Default Carbon veil covering

I'm building a Tiporare pattern plane and want to do a painted finish. I've glassed a plane before with looking results. I'm thinking of going with .2 oz carbon veil applied with nitrate dope on this one though to save some weight. If I do the wings in carbon, do I still need to glass the center section? If so, should I glass it after applying the carbon? I'm also curious if carbon will go around the compound curves of the fuselage or wingtips?
