I know that this is probably the tenth post on primer today, but after private messaging a few members who haven't yet and may or may not respond I thought I would post this.
I've just started my RV7 and after many hours of decision making I've found building an RV consist of more than just the "simple" decisions (ex tail wheel/ nose wheel). One of those tough decisions is whether or not to prime. I'm in the military and will be moving over the new few years so I decided to prime the plane, but haven't been able to decide what primer to use. I've been debating between Akzo 10p4-2, Akzo 463-12-8 and SW P60G2. From what I can tell the 10P4-2 is one of the best options, but I wanted everyone's opinion. The 463 looks to be very similar, but it contains lead and cadmium. Finally, the P60G2, which Vans uses, says it provides no significant corrosion resistance so I'm not sure why they use it.
Any thoughts? Also, do you feel scrubbing your Alclad parts with a Scotchbrite pad ruins its properties or could cause eventual hairline fractures?
Thanks in advance.
