AIRCRAFT PAINTING AND COATINGS
Aircraft is painted with basic automotive type paint. No special type paint is required
when repainting the aircraft. In order for the paint to properly adhere to the aluminum, it is
recommended that when purchasing the paint, all required procedures and materials are
sued for “aluminum painting”. Each paint manufacturer has its own materials and
procedures.
CORROSION PROTECTION
The aircraft has been designed to minimize exposure to corrosion problems. When
replacing parts, the internal structure must be primed with Zinc-Chromate (Zn-Cr) primer.
This must be applied before parts are riveted together.
Purchase Zinc Chromate Primer from Aircraft spruce 877-4-SPRUCE or other source.
