Beezer, by coincidence I was painting parts of the new experimental Flying Fish last week.
6061-T6
Acetone, sugarsoap, 3M Red scouring pad followed by Alumiprep and Alodine with lots of rinsing.
Sherwin - Williams strontium chromate Two part epoxy aircraft primer.
Respirator, suit and safety glasses.
Primary structure joints (but not the skins) rivetted together wet with AC240 B2 sealant for a little more corrosion protection and peace of mind.
Topcoat will be Sherwin Williams aircraft paint IAW their instructions.
That OK?
...Yes, it's a prick of a job.
