Default How do you finish your balsa C/L?

OK, most r/c guys use a shrink film, but how do most of you c/l fellows prefer to finish your planes (solid and open bay areas)? I just did a 1/2a trainer in MonoKote because it's what I had lots of scraps of. Brodak talks about using Dope (or other paint) on the solids and Century Coverite fabric on open structures. I recall my dad using fabric with Dope over open bays. What's your favorite methods and why?
