Thanks for taking the time to do the test and make a video. I’m going to restore some really weathered aluminum backboards on a couple basketball hoops.I’ll stick with the good old rust oleum. I’ve rattle canned a lot of things, and rust oleum has always been good to me. Thanks again!
It is, especially for the price. I was hoping for more out of the Napa brand. I know a lot of builders use cans of that stuff. Going into this I was convinced it would be the best.
Great Job on the Primer test. I really like your spreadsheet and the breakdown of all, the time, progress and tools. You are doing a great job, 'm learning a lot. I will like to build an AV 10 but I'm about 3 to 4 years out. I'm saving my money.
Thanks. Glad you like the spreadsheet. Good luck with your future build, you'll get there someday. My first picture I took of Van's yellow RV-10 is from 2009. Not sure how much before I took that photo that I wanted to build one, but I remember I went to that year's fly-in to specifically see that plane.
dude Im so confused. I dont know which product is a b c d. It might help if you kept cans in ABCD order from left to right here 0:34 this is how tests are usually shown
I understand that you are involved with airplanes and mostly aluminum. I think the "rust" test would have been better if steel/iron was used. Aluminum does not show rust/oxidation as well as steel/iron. Thanks for the test, it was important to me.
I wonder if using steel would have different results. Part of what I wanted to check was adhesion to the surface which seems to be really hard for primers to do, especially without proper surface prep. I still have cans of most of this since I am not using these on the plane. I will see if I can throw something together with some scrap pieces of steel. I also want to find my original samples. I threw them on the floor after they sat outside in the sun for months (probably a year) and they have been kicked around for a couple of years, it would be interesting to see if the primer is still holding on or been mostly scraped off through the abuse.

Self etching primers need to be covered with a 2k primer and metal prepped with right grit. Self etching primers arnt designed to hold out based on weather. They need a 2k primer surfacer. One test you didnt due was expoxy primer.
I bet epoxy would have kicked the butt of anything in a spray can. It also comes with a hefty price tag. Purposely didn't do any surface prep. I just wanted this on interior parts of plane as something better than not doing anything to metal. Exterior will be getting proper treatment with primers and paint.

I use the rustoleum all the time. Great product.

Im so glad there is a fast forward

It MIGHT be important to know that DupliColor is an acrylic lacquer.

Check out the spreadsheet at 21:30.
Hi whats a real good and holds on strong automotive self etch primer for aluminium
SEM Self etching primer worked amazing on my aluminum tanks, only thing i found that really held.

Good info
Did you scuff them with the prescribed grit sand paper? It states this in the directions.
I didn't, I was going for a worst-case scenario.
Hi
Where can I see you’re spreadsheet? I am soon planning on a RV14. Thanks for the vids!

What letter is Rust Oleum, A B C or D ?
A - Napa 7220
B - Majic
C - Duplicolor
D - Rustoleum
