Default covering on paint?

I got a Sig Kougar the other day, flew it with a Webra 50 on it, it flies great, a little fast and a little small for me. It is currently on some unknow covering, maybe coverall and painted red, the whole plane, I really want some type of contrast on the wing to make it a bit easier to see. Would ultra cote stick and or cover? or would I be better painting it?

I was thinking of some white stripes under the wing, any other ideas?

Thanks

Jon

You would be better off painting it. I covered over paint once... ONCE!

The problem is that you need to get your iron to the edges of the covering, but if the iron touches the paint, it will melt it - then the paint gets on the iron. In general, it's a PITA

Do you think just white stripes would be the best?

Mike are you coming out on Saturday?

Thanks

I am planning to come out -weather permitting.

Yes, I think a 5 or 6 inch white stripe would look good

How about trim sheets? Just peel and stick over the paint.
