Three Words, "AUTO BODY SHOP".

This was the self adhesive stuff that doesn't require much, if any heat. The results were quite good...until the first really hot Southern California day on the slopes a few months later. At that point, the covering totally bubbled all over the place and looked terrible. I ended up stripping off the covering and just painted the thing. Getting the old adhesive off was also a huge pain, btw (though I didn't know about Goo Gone at the time). I'd just paint it..even with cans.

[RCSE] Can a "bagged" wing be covered with "film"
I have a bagged wing that I bought several years ago than I need to finish. I had orginally intended to paint the ship, but circumstances now dictate otherwise. I have it primed and no longer have access to painting equipment other than cans. I just can't imagine painting an open class ship with cans, so I'm wondering if I could cover it with "film" i.e. oracote or some other low temp covering. If filming is possible what do I need to consider? How much heat will melt the foam? Any experience will be helpful to me. TIA Stan
