Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:08 pm Post subject: Priming Metal Parts for my CH701

For aluminum parts, I have been using Metal Prep No. 79 followed by Zinc

Chromate from aerosol cans. Now I have started building my fuselage and

just completed the firewall, which is my first exposure to steel. Do I

treat the firewall and the 4130 steel tubes the same way as the aluminum?

I had someone advise me to powdercoat the metal parts, but the archives

seem to suggest otherwise. Also, with the 4130 steel tubes, I presume I

need to rust proof both the inside and the outside? What about around the

drilled holes? Prime only after drilling is completed? 



I am certainly learning a lot from building my first airplane and have

greatly appreciated the information from this list. Thanks in advance!
