Default Monokote over the Solartex

I’m going to cover my cub with yellow Solartex. Can I use black Monokote over the Solartex for the lightning bolt that goes down the side of the fuselage or would paint be better?

I don't know that you can or can't. However, I would paint.

I've used Solartex over Monocoat but never the other way around. Why not use Solartex over Solartex. I've also used 21st Century fabric over Solartex.

Yes you can but if you use paint it looks a lot better.

Hi!
It works good! In fact Monokote and Oracover (Ultracote to you Americans) fasten better to Solartex and to Oratex than to balsa!

Thanks everyone, I would like to paint it but I have not done that yet. I have some black Monocoat that's why I was thinking about using that.
