It's not worth the effort. The reason AA doesn't paint their planes is because of the weight savings. Aircraft paint can add 200 to 400 pounds per airplane which is significant in determining usable payload.<br><b>References : </b><br> Whatever small drag improvement you will gain will probably be off set by the added weight of the wax.
