I would like to paint 21 century coverlite ,is it possible to do this its very glossy,I would like to paint it with either a flat clear spray or auto primer.I may do a test on a peice,but was woundering if any of you had any ideas. I Love this material it been the easyest to work with so far.Just wish they made it in flat colors.

I am not familiar with "coverlite".

If it is a film covering you will need to scuff the surface with 0000 steel wool OR a green scotch pad. You need to be careful you don't go through the covering.

What you want is to get a "frosted" appearance to the film, then a primer will be able to adhere to the surface after proper cleaning. (I use 91% rubbing alcohol to clean with )

I am not sure what you man by "coverlite", but if you're talking about 21st Century FABRIC, yes, you can paint it; it takes paint very well, at least I've used Top Flite Luster Cote and it worked really well. Here's a picture of white 21st Century masked and painted:
