I'm a first time poster and I've just begun the VS for the -12. My plan is to prime the ribs, spars etc. prior to buttoning up the skin. I am very early in the process andI've been working on the spar, I've match drilled the upper and lower spar cap holes and deburred everything. The next step is to countersink some #40 holes on the bottom portion of the spar. What I'm wondering is if I should prime the spar prior to countersinking the holes or wait until after. I'm just thinking that if I paint I will have to scrape out the countersunk holes to make the rivit fit flush. Any advice would be appreciated.
