Default RE: Which covering to use

I've used all kinds of covering, it's really up to you and your paitence, using koverall is probabily your best choice, but it's much more time consuming, but like mentioned before, it will not sag or loosen up over time, dope finish is fine but most people can't stand the smell, recently, I discovered nelson hobbies paint, this can be painted onto any fabric, it's water based poly and they have a additive that makes it fuel proof to 25% nitro. I decided to give it a try on my jungmiester recover job with koverall, the covering is super tough, the finish is scale looking and the paint once left to cure is almost impossible to scratch off, even when I streach the covering and distort the surface, I hit it with a little heat and back it goes and the paint never chips, cracks or flakes off. The other bonous, it has no smell and can be sprayed inside with very little ventalation if none at all.
