 |
|
I am finishing the wheel pants and fairings, then the cowling is last before the move to the hanger. I am not painting the plane until after the fly-off period (a choice made due to lack of paint shops in the area and an extensive back log, nothing else) The plane will also live in a hanger. At the risk of inciting something similar to primer wars, what have people in a similar situation done to preserve the fiberglass from any wear due to UV effect or the elements? Will my personal choice in aircraft primer suffice until paint, or should I go as far as gel coating? As with much of the build this falls under personal preference but want to feel out the group to see what others before me have done. Thanks.

get a primer that has UV protection. That's all you need to do, when you're
ready to paint clean the parts, sand it down and if needed reprime lightly
than paint. By priming you'll also take care of the pin holes now versus
later when you're flying.

The UV protection in a primer protects the paint, not the fiberglass. You need a primer that obstructs all light.

I had planned on the UV Smooth prime as a filler/primer unless better suggestions were presented, but I left the name out of my original post until I had a chance to get some flame proof underwear on.

Ummm. WHAT??? Eric just prime with a primer with UV protection like Dupont prime and sand. It will last plenty long until you paint.

If the plane lives in a hangar, I bet you can fly it around without primer for 40-60 hours without ill effects. Just stay out of the rain.
