I've been using Prekote followed by a sherwin williams 2 part epoxy primer. My paint (primer) is outdated now and I'm looking at other options. I'm considering alodine, the sanchem route (referece the other thread in this forum), and finally just priming the nonalclad parts and using something on all rivet/ intersection lines. I'm considering the latter because thus far I've been more less removing the alclad in the prep stage. I'm not sure if it's worth all the extra work or not. Not to mention that I'm removing the natural protection just to put an "artificial" layer of protection on.
Now, I'm not trying to start any debates or wars, but I need some constructive opinions on viable options. How much scrubbing is necessary in the prep stage with products like the sanchem line or alumiprep. If a guy uses alodine can you just dip the parts in the alodine only (not use the alumiprep)??? I'm looking for a way to get around all the "scrubbing" of parts if there is such a product.
Finally, is there a website that outlines various priming methods and their application???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
