Brown paper covering?

Has anyone tried using white paper? Either the kind sold for lining walls prior to papering (you can get light grades)

This is the technique I use for making Panic wings, I apply 1000 grade lining paper directly onto foam cores using PVA. The paper is absorbent so I don't thin the PVA but I do wet the paper to make it compliant as it's too thick and stiff otherwise. I wrap it around the leading edge and peg it at the trailing edge to keep it tight while it dries. It shows some of the foam grain through as it shrinks but as long as you aren't too fussy it works just fine.
