Matt’s RV7 Build Log

–finished prepping all HS parts
–washed all HS parts
–acetoned all HS parts
–etched all HS parts with Alumiprep
–primed all HS parts with Napa 7220 Self Etch Primer

I debated what priming to use for a long time. After checking with Van’s recommends as well as the many online sources, I settled on rattle can self-etching primer. The convenience is a big factor. Although it technically needs a top sealer, this RV will be hangered and Van’s itself recognizes Mar Hyde self-etching primer. Good enough for me. This first round of priming I tried building a spray booth in the garage. Priming went well but the spry booth performed so-so. There was still a lot of paint fumes throughout the house and  the booth itself didn’t vent really well at all. I am gonna have to try some mods before doing the VS parts.
