Default Possible covering project help

Hey Guys! Ive really been thinking of re-working my Hanger 9 showtime. One of the changes might be to do a complete skin job. Could you guys share some knowledge on how you go about creating templates for proper curves, painting etc. Ive done a couple of repair jobs which involved recovering certain areas...and not for nothing...they came out perfect. So Im thinking I have the ability to make this happen...but want to gather as much information and tips as possible to make sure its done right. Here is a pic of what Im thinking of doing. Its simple, yet very nice.

If you guys want to offer alternative suggestions, Id be glad to take a look at them. Any websites or direction to info would also be appreciated.

One question: Do the lines and shape of the fuse favor certain schemes over others? Does it make sense to cover in all white then paint the scheme on?(Something tells me the answer is no). Is there a process when painting over Ultracote? Primer?
