Thanks, guys! Are we talking about clear on the plastic before using primer on the entire plane (butyrate primer), or is this the clear coats over the finish color coats? Sounds like you are suggesting clear onto the scuffed plastic, then proceed with primer and rest of finish application to entire plane.
Canopy is already expoxied in place and has SuperFil blue fillet around edges. That's OK since I want to paint lines on it. And I already know that you can buff through the finish, probably for same reason Pete already knows. Did a bit of this on the Olympic I just completed, grrr. With a tailwheel strut by the way.
