I am starting to debur, and cleco the elevators. Once I get all the parts prepped and make sure everything fits. I will disassemble to prep the the parts with Prekote, then prime with a 2 part epoxy primer. I am spraying with a Fuji Minimite3 and it is working great so far. Not sure if I will continue to prime the whole kit. I like the peace of mind but it is a good amount of work. The first snag I ran into is one of the press fit bushings does not rotate freely, its a bad bearing so I ordered a new one from the factory. No clue how long that process is going to take.
