I am building a QB RV-7A. Much had been discussed re painting the interior. I have decided to go with Rust-oleum "Professional" High Performance Enamel, Light Machine Gray, #7581.
My interior has been primed by the QB shop. In my research, I have found builders using alcohol, acetone and MEK to clean the interior before paint. I tried acetone last night, and it removed the Vans wash primer right off. Given acetone took the wash primer off so easily, I don't think MEK would leave the wash primer intact.
So, I am seeking QB builders' experience on how best to prepare the Vans wash primer for paint:
1. Does alcohol leave wash primer intact and yet do a good enough job to clean off grease and oil for paint?
2. What else did you do short of removing wash primer and re-prim before paint?
Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!
