hello... i'm just starting out on my 9a and i've read and read about the 'primer wars' and certainly don't want to start anything here.
i feel a little more confused than i originally did. i wasn't really planning on doing any primer cover for the parts as most of the parts are coated from factory already. i realize that Van's has suggested treating the extruded pieces but where do one draw the line. those pieces that will be primed have holes in them, all be it they will be riveted, but that won't stop corrosion will it?
a lot of people say they are going to prime the pieces that are touching. i think there seems to be a lot of areas where pieces are touching. ribs to spar, ribs to skin,etc.
what have other canadian builders done for sources of the primer? rattle cans seem sketchy as i've NEVER seen a autobody guy use them. they even say some contain moisture in them.
