I used SmoothPrime and it has been on my plane for five years now with no problems. The thing with Smoothprime is you actually sand off about 90% of what you apply. If you follow the MFG directions, you should have no problems. I would suspect that these failures were not properly prepped and sanded prior to application and final paint. Just my 2 centavos worth which isn't much!!!! Do not go to the bank on what I have said as your results may widely vary.

This is a huge state, but I would humbly suggest removing all of your Smoothprime at this time. Myself (and many/all others) who have used this product have had it peel off in less than a few years (mine in less than 1 year). Please search around the net to confirm this information. It would be better (easier) for you to do this now than after your project is complete. I like Jeff and really wish the product had worked, but instead I have a plane with paint peeling off in sheets all over the place. I don't have the time to refinish it now, so I'm stuck with a gawd aweful paintjob in need of a few hundred hours work. Jeff has provided replacement products to some customers at no cost, I haven't barked at him yet (waiting for time to repaint, but I've taken pictures from day #1). Anyone know anything about UV SmoothPrime failure?
