Covering with Boat Vinyl - David's Gates Notes matoonline.com The covering seems to be holding up in the sun...the stretch tape not so much, unless you paint it with clear or a color. I found some headliner glue that I'll use next time along with the tape. Still putting the E in experimental.

Oretex 6000 would be my preference, if it weren't for the price. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Oratex+6000&t=ffsb&ia=videos I've covered a lot of model RC planes with Monokote, Ultracote, and shrink fabrics. David most of my paint stayed on...the sun's heat made mine sag when I used the 1500w electric blower....I re-heated it with the propane gun, and now it stays tight...They have blue, white, and clear industrial/boat shrink wrap...I wish they had red... Dacron is probably better for you if you want to paint it
