Looks like Valspar HS35 two pack acrylic paint doesn't stick at all on to Prekote treated 6061-T6.Just did the wings and the bloody paint peeled off in sheets.All the other bits I alodined and no problems with the Vaspar HS35 paint.It appears that some of the two packs don't like water based etching agents so prior to painting your aircraft do a sample piece first to see how well it adheres.Cheers

Thanks for the tip.
When I bought some primer the seller was trying to sell me some Prekote. He told me all the RV builders use it, but then they use a lot of clad 2024.
In the Zenith Construction Standards they simply recommend scouring and wiping with thinner.
Glenn.
