So im recovering a pa -12 supercruiser..(think 3 seat super cub) and i need to remove corrosion from the fuselage. Many like the powder coat route.... I don't care much for it. It can crack and not be visible to the naked eye.... it will wick moisture underneath for a perfect corrosion pod... it's literally an invasion. On these pics I've already used stripper to remove the epoxy...
One of the things a friend pointed out in the past was epoxy primer needs to be top coated, I prefer a flexible urethane like aero thane or super flight... stewarts (water borne) if your a masochist.. it was covered with ceconite with dope... way back, and the epoxy was not sealed, so now I get to clean buff and neutralize all of the rust before I ever get to coating or covering the beastie... the big advantage of painted fuses, or anything for that matter?... easy to spot a scratch and make touch ups...
