Default Mylar aileron and flap seals

I'm just about to shoot paint (PPG Concept) on the Janus C wings after
months of stripping, profiling, priming, and sanding. I would prefer
NOT to apply any tape, including the mylar seals, for a month or two
after painting. I assume it will cost some performance, and I'm okay
with that. Is there a saftety of flight issue (like significant
degradation of aileron authority) likely to result from the un-sealed
ailerons/flaps? The airfoil is an FX-67-K-170 at the root to FX-67-
K-150 at the tip.
TIA
Jim
