I think I used it (Smooth Prime) early on in my construction, but decided it really didn't make much difference whether you use Smooth Prime or some other standard high build primer that was sandable. I never sprayed the prime coats, only used a roller. I actually flew the plane that way for about 6 months. My 1st finish paint job was sprayed on using a "Boat" acrylic enamel. That didn't last. My second paint job was Stewart Systems and it seems to be holding up much better (rolled on).

Easy on the lungs and the ability to roll allows priming areas w/out the hassle of spraying. Multiple thin coats for best results. It dries quickly. Squeegeeing is an important step Roger rbaalman at cox.net _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
