I would not cover it that way, I would buy a actual weather proof cover. The tarp may no let it breath like a weather proof cover will.
My suggestion for a 2 cover approach is borne from experience. The first cover is paint friendly and breathable, the top cover is of a material that will not pass moisture in any form. I have used this set up 1 season many years ago with great results. The 2 cover system maintains an environment that is very stable, as evidenced by removing the cover on a given morning and having the body get a surface flash of light condensation - actually exactly the same thing happens to the S in my detached garage when the bay door is opened on a 'given' morning. As far as the khaki colored flannel backed material, if you can find it - you will realize why they use it on high classics, like Dusenbergs and such.

Are the Wolf covers breathable and paint friendly?

Thanks Sola, so what you're saying is - is that I buy an OEM cover and then put a Wolf on top? Was a little hard to follow your reply.

You just need to buy a good cover.

Yes. If you are not convinced with my answer you can research. You will see the same threads I did and come up with the same conclusion. I am just trying to save you some time .

I have the Wolfe Dustop for indoor use to keep the dust and German Shepherd hair off the car. Its cut exclusively for the car and has a very snug fit. Its been a great cover, very breathable and when I take it off the car looks great. When I leave the cover off for a while the car collects so much dust it loses it's shine quickly
