Leading edge chips

**bcg** · October 3, 2023

What are you guys doing for this kind of stuff? I'm thinking about hitting it with a Scotch Brite and spraying some clear coat on it just to protect it from chipping further. I'm not really worried about it looking perfect, I'd just like to stop it before it gets any worse.

Is that bare aluminum showing through in the picture or a gray primer under the white paint? I can't tell from the pic - your camera focused on the background and not the leading edge.

If it is bare I would think that you need to alodine treat it and spray a primer.

Have you considered a leading edge tape?

It's bare aluminum. I'm not really worried about the aluminum showing, just want to stop the paint from peeling any further. This plane has extensive hail damage, it's not going to win any beauty contests without a lot of work.
