Powder coat touch up

[samiam]

How are you guys touching up the powder coated parts? On the elevator drive horn it says to touch up the holes / countersinks before riveting. Would a black Rustoleum spray be sufficient?

I used black self etching primer. Rustoleum would work too though I like paints that dry harder.

Did you use the SEM stuff? Pretty pricey, but I don't imagine I would need much of it.

I used black Rustoleum. Worked fine.

I did use the SEM stuff. I have known others to use whatever self etching primer is available at NAPA.

I used black Rustoleum. Worked fine.

As did I. A little primer if the metal was exposed. Then a couple of coats of gloss black. If there were just nicks to fill I'd spray the Rustoleum into a small cup, then use a little paint brush to apply it.
