RE: wish to cover and paint ...need help
If this is your first fabric and paint job-I would suggest Solartex-use the natural so you can see all the internals as you cover, plus you will end up lighter by adding your own primer and paint. Solartex goes on easy, seams dissappear, be careful in shrinking, it can pull a wing out of shape. Prime-I use Rustoleum sandable primer-then paint-latex can be mixed at HD to any custom color or use any of the spray paints available. Overcoat with PU. Makes a one of a kind finish-on a Cub-it almost has to be fabric to look good. Good Luck.
