Default first time glassing..... HELP!!!!

I'm a little ahead of myself but I'm just getting started with building a Top Flite Corsair 60 (red box version). I've never glassed and painted an airplane. I need to know the lightest cloth and resin to use and the best paint.
I've used iron-on fabric before and lustrekote but that method added huge amounts of weight. I do not want to use iron-on plastic or colored fabric since I want the edges feathered vs hard lines.
I'm looking forward to your assistance and will be bugging you in the future regarding how to add panel lines, maybe rivets,etc
