Brief Description:  Epoxy primed the Ribs and spar angles

After much research and soul searching...

I settled on the Etching, Alodine, followed by a nice coat of epoxy primer.

The PPG product flowed very nicely and was easy to use.

I mixed up 4oz of primer / 2oz of catalyst / 1oz of reducer.
The finish is like glass. I am very happy with the results and plan this process for the wing ribs.

A 2 part epoxy primer solution:

PPG DP40LF - Primer
PPG DP402LF - Catalyst
PPG DT870 - Reducer

The PPG data sheet says to apply 1 to 2 wet coats... I applied 1 coat and am happy with that.
Build up is quick and I believe we have the corrosion protection we are looking for.

I used a HVLP paint gun set at 8-10 psi as stated on the PPG data sheet. worked great.
