Covering and Paint

I was originally going to paint my plane with latex, but for some reason I changed my mind.  I now have $1000 worth of Polybrush paint and fabric waiting to be applied.
 
I kinda wish I had stuck with doing this in latex... oh well, here goes..

I am pretty happy with the paint job. I'm not a painter..and I don't like to do it. Make sure you do a good job on the fabric and smooth out all poly brush..no bubbles...wrinkles..it all shows after the first coat of silver.
I am glad I used Polyfiber for my paint and not laytex. I'm going to make a test panel with laytex and see how it holds up.
