Quickbuild priming

[geoffwhatnot]

What (if anything) does Vans do about priming the current quick build wings and fuselages?

I'am only 25 miles from the VANS Factory I'am told the dull finish inside is because of the clear primer they use. RON

I have been told the same thing. The QB are primed at factory.

Yep, primed at the QB factory with a Sherwin Williams wash primer.

It doesn't have a pigment (not a requirement like here in the states), so it appears clear.

I wasn't a big believer is something I couldn't see, so I performed a test on a QB piece. I dropped the factory primed piece into alumaprep and left it for 5 minutes. At that point I pulled it out and found the primer wrinkling. It then peeled off like a banana.

After seeing that there was something actually there, I had no worries about the primer.

For not having to go through the tedious processes of building a priming, it's time and money well spent.

Thanks for that info Ron and Phil. Appreciate it.
