This topic came up in the other thread about powder coating and reminded me that I've no idea what the best technique for touch-up is on the QB fuselage. I've got a few places where the packaged parts riding inside the fuse rubbed the paint down to metal. I also plan to do a little welding, so I'll need to touch up. I have zero painting experience other than some wet sanded rattle can work when I was young.
I got some of the 2-part paint from Mark that AviPro uses. Can I use a light duty HVLP gun? My compressor is nothing to write home about but for spot shooting will that be adequate?
For prep, is it as easy as rattle canning a little zinc chromate? If not, what should I prime with?
Thanks.
