I am getting back to the build of my RV-6 and need to prime the Fuselage Parts. It's been a while, so I'd like to know what the majority of builders are using now, and where it can be acquired in So. Ca. Thanks in advance.

RC,
I’ve been using the NAPA 7220 self-etching primer in spray cans. It sticks well, is tough, very convenient, & easy to use and apparently lots of RVers use it. (I’ve even seen it used in EAA how-to videos)
It is a little pricey – about $10/can. However it does go on sale occasionally. I bought 3 cases at about $6/can when it was on sale at the Garden Grove Napa auto parts back in January. If you are vigilant you should be able to find it on sale.

I used a Sherwin Williams self-etching epoxy primer product that was
excellent on aluminum. It is called G.B.P 988 and it produces quite a
durable finish for those interior panels that you don't want to paint. It's
sold in 16oz. spray cans or by the quart/gallon.

R.C. I used Sherwin - Williams Industrial Wash Primer (P60 G 2) to prime my RV-7A - with satisfactory results. I used a cheap spray unit bought from Home Depot and practiced on parts only the bugs would ever see , e.g. wing ribs and inside skins. You can buy the stuff from any Sherwin - Williams paint store that specializes in sales to auto body repair shops, i.e., not to folks looking to repaint the kitchen or bedroom. It's a lot cheaper than spray cans - the cheapest way to go is simply not prime at all - but let's not get into that.

I used Sherwin Williams P60G2 wash primer inside the tail, wings and aft
fuselage of my RV-6A. I used Sherwin Williams GBP 988 in the forward
fuselage (under places where I also sprayed on some Sherwin Williams Acrylic
enamel to make the cockpit area look nice). The reason I used the 988 up
front was in case the color coat wore through, you'd see the gray primer
underneath and not the ugly green wash primer. Oh and I also bought a few
spray cans of Zinc Chromate from Gulf Coast to do small parts and things
that cant be seen inside the airplane. Just being anal about airplane
building.
