I dream of one day covering or painting one of my plane. I have a couple of kits that I have build that are waiting to be covered.

In my case I have found buying a ARF works real well.
And yet you post in the kit building forum??
OP, you can also give any of the fabric coverings a try, they can all be painted. Solartex is an outstanding product, easy to apply, makes you look like a covering pro and holds paint very well. Any of the coverings that have tex in the name are fabric of one type or another.
