I would rather see paints that match the covering. That goes for Monocote and Ultracote.

I would like a colour called chameleon.

When you repair a plane it automatically assumes the colour that was there before.

I would buy a lot of this

I would rather see the LustreKote matching paint in a container instead of spray can. I would rather thin and use my airbrush than have all the wasted paint that you get from a spray can

Metallic White? Won't that actually be silver or pewter or something?

What I'd like to see is Monokote become a little more pliable. I don't use it any more unless a customer specifies it. It is by far the most difficult covering to apply and none of my irons get hot enough to make the stuff mold around compound curves. I need an iron that goes to 500 degrees or something.

Anyway, if you want custom colors, there's nothing like paint. You can have any color you want.

I use the coverite iron at 420ΒΊ with a sock

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXB361&P=ML

I haven’t had any trouble with monocote with the 50 to 60+ (ive lots count) planes I have covered so far. But there are a lot of people that don’t like monokote.

Ultra cote has a real nice pearl white for 18$ a roll while there other pearl colors are 13$ a roll what gives???? The monocote pearl white is slightly silver and very translucent L

I'd like very nuch to see some German WWI lozenge camouflage in flat. The real stuff actually came in 5 or 6 sided diamond patterns, both in light and dark. I don't care who makes the stuff just so it becomes available. There is some available but $3.00 per foot buys a lot of balsa.

I've often wished that Monokote would be made in some flat MIL Spec colors for the warbirder's! Colors that are similar to Model Master paints.
