Concur with all the praise for Solartex. However, you can't paint it with anything. You can paint it with anything with the exception of Butyrate dope. Butyrate dope will just peal off in big sheets once dry. I have heard that if you give it a coat of nitrate dope first that you can then paint it with butyrate and it'll stick, however I have not tried it. Once I got all the butyrate off my plane, I repainted with Nelsons water based poly and had excellent results.
