Paint for fuselage tubing

[LSaupe]

Any recommendation for a good brush on paint for corrosion control?

Would love to find something not too volatile if able as my only heated region this winter is attached to the house.

Polyfiber has a good epoxy primer that is recommended by Kitfox. I used it and it can be sprayed or brushed. However it is quite volatile and you will want to use a respirator.

Larry,

I'd second Jim Ott's recommendation on the Poly Fiber Epoxy paint.

Its true...it stinks bad and you have to be careful not to gas yourself, but it is a great product for painting steel. I would be a little reluctant to brush paint the epoxy...it has a tendency to crawl if there is any un-evenness (which is hard to avoid with a brush)....sprayed on it is great.

FWIW, I bought my fuselage bare, sandblasted it, epoxied it and finished with Aerothane. Photos attached

Sincerely,

That poly fiber epoxy primer has a nice hard "plastic like" finish. Its great; but use the respirator.
