Anyone have experience with EcoPrime? It is the old Steward Systems stuff now sold by http://www.aircraftfinishing.com/
Looks pretty good.
Looks pretty good.
The primer is not as tough as two part epoxy but it is allot tougher than one part self etching in either the rattle can or in bulk.
Easy cleanup, easy to spray, suppose to be safe and non-toxic...
It goes on weird. The coat will look a little like orange peel but as it dries, it will lay down super smooth. Does not have much of a tendacy to run and if it does, most of the time after it dries you can't easily find it.
It does take longer for it to dry. Max toughness comes in about 24 hrs at a decent temp.
MEK will cut it easy at first but the longer it dries, the harder it is for MEK to cut it. After a few days, you have to work at it to get MEK to rub it off.
Can the AFS primer be painted over self etching veriprime or does it all have to be stipped? I would love to use this system on my plane in the next couple of months but it has veriprime that is up to 12 years old. I was going to call AFS on this but since this thread started I thought someone here may have experience with this.
Thanks for the report Brian, What spray gun are you using and what size orifice does it have?
Thanks
