Hi everyone,

  

  When I was at Rogers place i noticed he painted some green ant-corrosion paint on certain places. My question this does anyone know what the name of it is and don't you have to paint the whole entire airplane with this stuff or no?

  

 thanks,

  

 Ben

We've been through this in  the archives  pretty thoroughly but the short version is:

  

 You really only need to prime the places where two  parts touch because moisture will wick in and remain there often. Remember the  places where skins overlap.

  

 I chose to prime the entire inside of mine so that  anything that won't be painted later for esthetics will be at least be primed  for protection.

  

 The green stuff (also available in gray) is likely  either Zinc Chromate (very toxic.... be careful) or Zinc Oxide (somewhat more  friendly) self etching primer. I used Tempo Zinc Oxide from rattle cans and  bought it at Aircraft Spruce.

  

 The water based stuff, Cortec, seems to be okay  too.

  

 If you don't do at least some of the above, you  should use the spray-the-inside-of-the-plane stuff once a year or  so.

It also comes in yellow. I have never seen gray. Due

to the fact that mine will most likely live outside in

a coastal environment, I'm using zinc cromate on all

interior surfaces that will be closed up and therefore

not easily inspected for corrosion.
