So, I intend to paint the Interior of my RV7A rather than install side panels. Trying to save weight as much as I can. Will I be OK with using my current priming process to paint the interior?
Currently I am using an automotive grade 1K self etching primer to prime. http://www.proformproducts.com/en/products/paint-related-products/primers-50-state/1k-self-etching-primer/
What I plan on doing is using this primer throughout the fuselage build, and then use an automotive grade 2-part finish paint overtop for the cockpit when I am ready to paint the final finish.
My concern is will the 1K self-etch primer do a reasonable job as a base. (I am not looking for professional quality, just average durability and relatively easy to touch up when needed)
I figure I may have to remove some primer and re-coat later. I also want to paint the rivet heads as well on the interior so I imagine I will need to prime these after assembly. Or am I better off not priming anything any leaving the interior bare until I am ready to paint the interior.
