This is embarassing..can you paint over monocote...?
[.I now have my back turned to the audience}

Most dope won't adhere to MonoKote (or other plastic, heat shrink coverings).

Top Flite's " Luster Kote" which is available only in spray cans is the only paint I've found which will stick to the film.

Perhaps someone else knows of other paint that will work?  I've tried Sig and Brodak dope with poor results.

Your question is an ignorant question, not a stupid question.  Ignorance can be cured by asking ignorant questions.  So ignorant questions are usually a mark of high intelligence. Stupidity cannot be cured, it can only be managed.  If a stupid person can figure out how to ask ignorant questions, and then will put adequate effort into understanding the answers, they can cruse through life in good style.  And people will end up thinking they are pretty smart. 

Jim, you have my ignorant vote..but in florida I may be too stupid to operate the voting machine, help!

A few years back Kaz Minato and Matsaru Hiki (sp?) brought two airplanes to the Brodak Flyin. Both were covered with iron on plastic film sprayed with some type of clear coat. If you were to look at and feel the airplane you would have said it was paint. until they told us it was iron on film with a clear coat I would have never guessed. Anyway they got paint to stick w/o any issues, but I am not sure what their procedure was.

I have used the enamel Rust-Oleum over white Monocoate. Rough up the Monocote first with steel wool. Takes a little while for the enamel paint to dry, but it works pretty good. Don't use the black Rust-Oleum. It is not fuel proof.
