I know Van's states that all quick build kit interior surface are primed prior to assembly. Anyone know what method they use?
I got my hands on some quick build wings and components from an abandoned RV-8 build. I'm in the process of going through everything now. So far, other than rust on some of steel bolts and screws, everything looks really good. This is the older kit with the W-415 wing tips.
But, the interior surfaces look like its been treated with some sort of conversion process, then left bare. It looks translucent dull grey, and not like zinc chromate or epoxy polymide primer that I'm used to seeing.
