I paint all my steel parts with spray can primer followed by a color top coat of spray can paint or brushed on oil based enamel and it seems to hold up fine for me.

Doug. Is that just a common auto primer such as one would get at a autosupply store? Heretofore I have used regular old spray primers for landinggear, controls, etc. But they are easily inspected and accessible. I guessI am sensitive to Spar fittings etc that you cant get to to check thecondition easily. I THINK I am feeling better about just using anautomotive primer and be done with it.(SEE...... That's why I'm still here!)Thanks, bert (from Tallahassee where we've seen and absolutely beautiful daytoday.)----- Original Message -----

It holds up fine especially inside the wing where it is not subjuct to any elements. Ofcourse there will be inspection rings where the fittings are. A friend is building a Piet here and he has powder coat equipment which is another way to get permanent finishes.

Bert, most of the Automotive paint suppliers in my area also stock zincchromate. You might try your local supplier.Phil Phillips----- Original Message -----
