Wait, what?? Did you mention what kind of covering that is? It looks like the type where you need to paint the adhesive on to the structure first.

@rockyboy - the surface is nice - do you think it would stick to a 3D printed frame?
So this covering is a cloth like material? I am new to covering and my first one was using the cheap HK stuff, one person said it is heavier material then the good stuff ( don't remember the brand) but I can never find a weight in any descriptions no matter what brand.
Once painted do you still see some of the weave? That's a lot of the character I love in old-school planes.
ok, I see a great paint finish but I don't see "weave" LOL
Looks nice n shiny.
With that subtle weave I would think an airbrush would be best for painting this. Would be fine enough spray to get the coverage in all the low spots with out filling them up
Solartex was the stuff that made me look like I knew what I was doing when covering an air frame. Looks like this stuff will do the same. I used solartex on my Corsair for the fabric surfaces and painting with an airbrush has always been my go-to for this technique. The paint is atomized more finely so you need less paint for the same coverage and you end up with a more pronounced weave look.
