Hi all I was wondering if there is a paint that is made to paint on top of the monokoat or any other covering? I was wondering what happens when the monokoat wrinkles and needs to be ironed down , does the paint crack and chip off or does it adhere well enough that it shrinks with the covering also? Thanks and any help would be appreciated.

There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks about putting a camo job on Monokote.
You've hit most of the problems even if you use scotchbrite or steelwool and take the gloss off the film. Either the iron or heat gun will blister or smear the paint. Monokote needs some heat about every time you take the plane to the field. The oil clean-up will present problems also.
What kind of detail do you want to do on the film ?

I am building a patriot jet and wanted to have some airbrushing done on it. I am thinking about glassing the jet but I dont want to overweight it. Any suggestions? Thanks again.

I've painted heat-shrink covering with no problems. You want to make sure your paint is fuel proof, and don't spray on more than you have to. Make sure you scrub off the shine on the plastic first, and get the surface nice and clean. I've found that the flexibility isn't much of an issue, most quality paints can flex enough to avoid cracking. And clean-up is just a matter of picking a good paint or top coat and using a compatible cleaner on it. re-shrinking is more of a problem though. A well done covering job won't sag much at all, but if all your prior covering jobs developed a lot of wrinkles then maybe this isn't a good idea for you.

Btw, if you are going to paint anyway, use a clear or transparent covering. Or pick a color that looks good as a base coat. The clears are much lighter weight than white or any light color. Black or a dark color is lighter than whites, but obviously harder to paint over.
