The weather was supposed to cooperate for priming outside, so I etched a huge batch of parts that I previously washed including the longerons
It continued to drizzle on and off throughout the day, so it was obvious that outdoor painting was not going to work. I cleared out an area in the garage for painting.
Once I had everything set up, I went to mix the primer. Apparently, I forgot that I needed to order more of the Aircraft Finishing Systems primer. I ended up resorting to the Sherwin Williams GBP-988 rattle can stuff. I didn’t even have enough of that stuff, so I made sure I got the longerons painted since they are a hassle to deal with. I managed to prime one side of everything and both sides of some parts. I’ll pick up more paint on Monday and finish it off. Even with the garage door wide open, a tiny bit of the paint fumes found their way into the house. That’s why I much prefer to paint outside.
