Hi all,
I'm starting the construction of a RV-7A and am at the point where I need to start priming the interior of the empennage in preparation for riveting. I have decided to prime all of the interior with the Tempo (Valspar) Zinc Phosphate Primer for its ease of use and corrosion resistance.
However, my question is what to do with the exterior skins. Should I just leave them bare until I can do the exterior painting months down the road or should I put the same primer on them. Would the primer interfere with the primer I might decide on for the finish coat, or would it be compatible. I'm building a paint booth and hope to do the finish painting myself.
Thanks for any advice you might be able to give me!
