What is the groups consensus on whether to prime the front and rear wingspars or not? This is the QB wing so it would require a ton of masking to make for a clean look. What do you guys think and has someone done this before? Is it worth the extra time and work? I am in Utah...very dry climate...and the plane will never be on floats (at least as long as I own it) but is it a big point in the resale?

I guess it wouldn't be a huge problem if I sprayed the self etching primer...who cares if it gets on the ribs a little in the process, they will be covered anyway.

Thanks,

Darin

I would prime with two pac in side and out of spars after scotch brightening. Depends how fussy you are re masking the ribs, never seen and if you use yellow primer it doesn't stand out so much. Good coat of paint is the best protection from corrosion.

Darin,
By all means primer them. Use one of those little spray guns with the cup.
It is used for detailing. That way you will get very little on the ribs. I
used a paint brush on mine. Went on thuicker than I liked. Jeff classic IV.

For the inside of the spars, I plugged one end of each spar with a tennis
ball, poured a quart of Alodine in the spar, plugged the second end with
another tennis ball, and swished away for twenty minutes. Would I do it
again in a dry climate? Probably not.

Thanks guys for the advice. I have decided that I will prime the exterior of the spars with a rattle can self etching primer. I am not going to worry about the inside of the spar.
