When I was doing some initial fitting of the canopy frame last fall, the paint I had used on the rollbar came off. Rather than go cheap on it, I took the rollbar off a few weeks ago and removed all the paint.
I ordered Alodine and Alumiprep last week and a quart of Stewart Systems' EkoPrime, and a new HVLP gun with a 1.4 mm tip. I also bought a new water/oil inline filter. Might as well do it right.
I prepped the rollbar at home, but the canopy frame wouldn't fit in any vehicle to bring it home to prep it, so I hauled 21 gallons of water out to the hangar to properly rinse it after both treatments.
Now all I have to do is find out where I put that damn HVLP gun.
