Just in case your comment was not tongue-in-cheek:
Monokote is a filament used to cover model airplanes.
You couldn't cover a wing with it because the overlap
of the panels would alter the airfoil.

The best answer might just be a thin coat of white
epoxy enamel paint made for automobiles. I have a
Discus that had the gel removed completely and was
painted in this way. Painting on top of the gelcoat
would certainly add to the weight and make it tail
heavy.

YMMV, WISIWIG, MTFTD (My thought for the day, and all
that, and all that)

When we refinished a Nimbus 2 I used to have a share
in, it was also found that the gel coat was still
perfect
under the red conspicuity markings painted on the
wingtips.

suspect the decals
protect paint from oxidation, weathering, and fading
