Cameron, just stick with white. IMHO "wing covers" is an impractical idea.
Follow the advice of 99.9% of the composite community.

The objective reference is Burt Rutan.

"How can you tell if a wing has received sun-related structural damage?"
Good question - you can't, at least until it's too late.

Stick with the plan, man.

I've heard you shouldn't paint your wings anything but white, does
anyone have an objective reference for this? I see a lot of white
planes, but I see also a Lancair factory demonstrator that was lipstick
red and was foam and glass construction. My plane will be hangared and
in a cool climate 95% of the time. How can you tell if a wing has
received sun-related structural damage?
