The instructions from the paint manufacturer (Stewart Systems) say that the recommended etching and then scuffing will remove the cladding form alclad.
I can understand priming the interior parts since even the alclad ones get buffed, deburred and scuffed, so a lot of the aluminum cladding is gone anyway.
But why get rid of the cladding on the inside of the skins only to replace it with another (better or worse?) protective layer?
First-time builder...Just wondering....
