Gosh, it sounds so easy!
, unless you have some magic you want to share.....

Sure:

1. Carefully wrap the airplane in a cushioning material, bubble wrap will be fine.

2. Place gently into a large box

3. Add packing material to the inside of the box

4. Take to Greyhound, and tell them you need to send it to Canada

5. Include a check in the box

6. Give me a couple of weeks

7. Go back to greyhound and pick up your package

8. Carefully unwrap your freshly painted Bandit

9. Enjoy!!!


LOL, sorry, don't know any real magic to spraying clear other than I never reduce the clear as much as guys here say to. You are losing adhesion as well as UV protection and overall toughness of the clear when reduced that much, not to mention you have increased the solvent content a huge amount which will increase your risk of wrinkling the underlying finish. By the time I'm finished spraying, wet sanding and polishing, I'd almost bet my paint is as light or lighter than those jobs sprayed with clear reduced that far.
