Default Easy covering Idea

Anyone have any pics of easy covering jobs I can put on my uproar.. The factory job was a joke and I want to put some good covering on her.. Im looking for a 2 color scheme so that I only have to buy 2 rolls of covering..

I don't have any easy covering pics, just some suggestions:

Use Ultracote, you will be happy you did. Goes on very easy with low heat and virtually no wrinkles, sags or bubbles, and goes around corners very smoothly.

And I have a fondness for the colors blue and white.

You could go with a simple dark on bottom (Red, blue, Green, Black, etc) and light on top (White, yellow, etc) and then add some trim to either side - Like a sunburst, Lightning bolts, Stars, etc

Does it count that I never tried Mono?? (Hangar 9 Arrow covered in Ultracote from tha factory, so I naturally used the same for repairs )
