Hello Brock Rust protection is your goal..the means by which you accomplish that is not important. Its your project and experimental gives you the freedom to do things in your way. The black on yellow primer should help you find any light spots. Painting a fuselage is tedious and very time consuming but the results are worth the effort. I am restoring a 1946 Taylorcraft and we painted battleship gray over a white primer...with a spray gun...I think your method was the right choice.
Hey Brock, nice work, hey if it works - go for it, this is what "Experimental" is all about, even down to how your paint and protect. Do you know what the primer base paint is ? ie, - epoxy or acrylic ? Keep up the good work watching with interest. Cheers Glenn.
We painted all of our aluminium window frames at home with Rustoleum spray cans. Works perfectly
