To each there own....

Glad you asked. Use typing paper with school glue, glue stick or whatever works for you to cover the woodgrain. Below is a detailed How To posted on TRF. Give it a try and see what you think.
Personally I use self adhesive label paper to avoid wrinkling.

Just a few of my builds with papered fins
