This was fun lol..NOT!!
We're told that some people just prime and don't apply a top coat in an effort to save weight but it's a real no! no! unless you live somewhere that has no humidity. It will show signs of surface rust in a short time and the primer has no UV protection what so ever.
Top coating, as far as we are concerned, was still is the only way to go and we are very glad we did it. You have to look really close to tell our finish from powder coat, the whole air frame looks like it was dipped in plastic. We had to time everything just right. There's a window time slot you must adhere to get the top coat on everything after it is primed or you have to sand everything. We couldn't imagine doing that so we ran our arses off to get it all completed in the proper amount of time.
You never realize how much it rains and the wind blows until you attempt such a project outdoors.
Grey
isn't a good color to use by the way. It is very difficult to tell
what is primed and what isn't because the bare metal and it are very
close to the same color.
