There is really nothing to beware of. Just go to the local fabric shop and get the color that is on sale. Rip stop is preferred but heavier polyester (dacron) works fine. I have tried smooth plastic and the surface has always needed sanding any way.
another use for polyester is to lay it out over a frame slightly heat it to get it to shrink tight and use it as a wet layup mold. In the ecomod vein I built a molded grill cover and wheel spats for my camo van. The finished result can be seen in my vehicle gallery.
