I am thinking about trying with just black fabric, and using t-rips on the backside of the weelcover. So a little air comes trough, "filterd" but smooth to direct the air flowing by to be helpful.

Just remember that even with black fabric the resin will still alter the color a little bit.

You can use any fabric. There was a rash of articles of people using snuggies to make fiber glass parts on tv and magazines.

I guess that may almost justify using snuggies, but snuggies?!
