Prime and Paint

Post by PlaneDan »

There are areas inside the fuselage that I wish to prime and paint as I build, where "prime if desired" is specified. I would like to use a grey paint, that may match closely the grey harness, assuming that grey got enough votes.

So, what preparation is necessary for priming? What primer product should be used? Is it available in a spray can, for convenience where small areas need to be primed? What paint should be used?

I am not priming nor painting where not necessary for aesthetics, to save weight and work and money. I have not previously built an aluminum plane, thus the reason for my questions.
