I was going to order a quart of reducer from ACS for the zinc chromate primer I purchased. However I was surprised to learn that although the price is $9.70, the total cost of shipping, with the hazmat surcharge, is $41. That’s a four-fold increase in cost just to get it here! Does anyone know of a cheaper way to acquire this product? I live in Madison, WI.
Thanks,
Dave Van Lanen

Hi Dave,
I just made a trip to my local "Automotive" paint store. This is a different retail location from the paint stores that sell house paint. They offered me some good primer to use instead of the Zinc Chromate on steel - some sort of red oxide primer. They also have all the stuff to paint aluminum including alumiprep, allodine, self-etching primer (for cabin interior use), polyurethane top coat in spray cans for interior use, epoxy primer, and polyurethane top coat which can be configured as a single coat or base coat with clear top coat.
The guy there also convinced me these materials are a little hazardous but easy to work with so long as I use a little common sense. He also said the total cost for materials (and maybe a mask?) to paint my plane would run around $500. This was good news since I have heard of a guy around here who paid $7,000 to get his RV-9A painted.
Of course, all of these materials are available locally and with no wait or hazmat shipping charges. I will have to pay sales tax.
You may have such a store in your area too. If you have problems finding it, perhaps you can talk to whoever does auto painting and ask where they get their materials.
Best regards,
Paul

Dave,
I purchased a case of Tempo zinc chromate aerosol cans from Skygeek a couple years ago for my 801. They had the best price at the time and did not charge hazmat. I see they now have a generic zinc chromate for less money than the Tempo. Their website now mentions a hazmat charge on the Tempo but not on the generic. The hazmat charge did not show up on the order total when I put in a pretend order this morning: $9.90 for 2 cans plus $7.43 shipping = $17.33 You might call them first to confirm that there is no hazmat charge.
They have yellow and green. Here is a link to the green:

You can find it at some marine stores/boating shops. Many carry zinc chromate primer.

I'm not an industrial paint tech wizard (someone else on the list is one but I don't remember who he is) but I would try buying Laquer Thinner by the gallon at the local paint store, Home Depot, or Lowes etc. It will disolve almost anything other than glass or titanium and flashed off for a quick drying time. It does not etch aluminum for you so you should wash the part, use some sort of etcher (Alumaprep) then brush or spray it on.
Hope that helps,

Hi Dave,
To tail onto Paul's comment, there's an auto paint store on Watts Road across from Woodman's on the west side. Maybe there's a chance they'd have what you're after.
Best regards,
Chris (who knows nothing about paint)
