Heh - It looks like I may be out of luck?
What does everybody use to prime aluminium? Is there a more modern alternative that bonds and preserves just as well?

We buy at a plascon outlet in Nelspruit, but it is readily available at most automotive paintshops. I have bought from BASF and chemspec before.

MS primer sit nie aan aluminium vas nie, en dit is baie swaar. ChemSpec maak so n groen-geel 2 pac etch primer wat klou soos meidestront aan n poeliesjas. DIS die verf wat jy moet he. Verkrygbaar by alle auto paint suppliers wat hulle sout werd is. Net bietjie duur.

Re: Where to buy zinc chromate primer in Pretoria?
Thanks guys.
Located some Strontium Chromate. The minimum size is quite a bit more than I wanted. Seems one pack (10l) is enough to paint about 2 planes!
Anyway, i will get some, and give it a bash.
Does it need any plasticisers, or anything for aircraft use? I know aluminium does not move as much as fabric, but there is some surface rippling.
Thanks,
Justin
