Hello Everyone:
Not to re-start the "Should I prime/Should I not prime?" debate, but I have a question. With all the discussions on how primer is not a sealer and only zinc oxide protects, blah, blah, blah, etc. I am wondering how just regular enamel paint would act as an interior "primer" and sealer?
I have been using NAPA 7220 very sparingly (generally in enclosed areas where two pieces of metal meet) on the tail. I am about to move onto the QB fuselage and would like to protect the area below the floors from spilled drinks and whatever else ends up down there. I would really like to avoid having to prime, then seal, then paint if possible.
I read something to the effect of how some custom car body shops don't remove all the paint if they know there is no rust because the paint is better than the primer they would spray on. Plus enamal paint is generally cheaper than any primer.
Any thoughts?
