First time builder and VAF poster here:
To those who have primed internal pieces...what has been your method for painting the cockpit? Specifically i have the following dilemma:
I am going to prime (i know...huge opinions both ways), and very likely do it with a 2 part epoxy. One of the downsides of epoxy is that the available colors are very few, AND, my understand is that not much paint sticks to cured epoxy (even another epoxy coat) without sanding which doesn't seem feasible on a finished fuse. ....so, if i prime all parts during building process, i need some guidance on how to handle the painting of the cockpit over the already primed epoxy surface?
I am starting my -10 project in the next 3-4 weeks, and the priming obviously starts with the very first part so I ask this question because I'm trying to make sure i set out on the right track and don't have to unnecessarily switch methods mid-build and then have an inconsistent look when it's all said and done.
Thanks for any insight, critiques, suggestions etc that anyone has the time to provide.
