So I am finally closing on our new bird friday N2201!, She is in great shape but needs some TLC on the wings from paint chipping. we will do a full paint job next winter, but in the meantime I will probably lightly sand the edges prime and spray paint for now as recommended by the MSC. any suggestions? best paint,primer etc..Cant wait to fly her home to KMMU.

Congrats on the acquisition...


For that fresh do it yourself look....Alodine for primer (available in spray cans) and the best match you can find at Autozone.


Get some good tape, sand paper, use patience and avoid over-spray.  You will impress yourself with how good you are. 


Just remember, it is temporary protection for the aluminum until the real paint can be applied.


Too see how paint should be done, see the recent lists and valid arguments put forth by LT4Bird and others....

Don't use electric tools to sand or buff....to much risk in damaging the aluminum surface or rivets......


Some people in Florida, may not fly in your recently painted bird... (see post :)    )
