Howdy everybody,
I potentially could have made a big mistake and would like to get the forum's input. I was pepping my HS skins yesterday and used a PPG DX533 3:1 ratio to clean along the rivet lines in order to prime them. During this some of the cleaner ran through the holes and discolored the outer surfaces, and some even felt as if the cleaner had "eaten away" at the aluminum. I am not worried about the skins being unsightly (paint will eventually cover it) but I am worried about this chemical reaction. Any idea if it will stop, or has it weakend the aluminum enough that it will continue to erode?
I am going to swing by English Color (where I bought it) and ask them at lunch. Just hoping the forum can fill me with warm fuzzies unti then
Thanks,
Brandon
