Paint Systems and Preparation over Alodine Surfaces

Post by pcliff »

Hi All, I am nearing completion of a Quick Build Sling 2. One aspect for my going with the Quick Build kit was that all parts assembled in the factory came fully Alodine.
My question now is with regards the painting process, what surface preparation is required for the Alodine surfaces and what paint systems e.g. type of primer and topcoats might people have used on their quick build kits.
I have read that the Alodine surfaces may need a slight scuff with red scotch Brite due to dust and "oxidation" over the 2-year build period.

Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Happy building and flying
