I like Ultracote myself. In my opinion, monokote has gone down hill over the years and gotten to be poorer quality. I was working on a new ARF yesterday and while trying to take some masking tape off that the manufacturer put on the stab to hold the elevators on and the masking tape peeled off the top layer of the monokote and it was just a transparent film over the color portion of the coating. Yuk! [>:] I tried to iron it back on but it still doesn't look quite right. I hate monokote but that's what comes on some planes and the newest stuff they're putting out seems to be poor quality.
