Is it necessary to remove paint from a skin that you are going to rivet into? My line of thinking is that the paint could come out from under the rivet after the change - reducing (removing) the clamping action that the rivet had. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:58:42 PM PST US From: RV6 Flyer Subject: Re: RV-List: Removing paint before new rivets It was reported that during WW II, Navy aircraft had zinc chromate primer a pplied to the skin before riveting to help with corrosion protection even t hough aircraft were not expected to last that long. T-18 builders in the e arly '60's also did the same much like Lycoming recommends a thin layer of primer under the hold down plates on the narrow deck / standard cylinder fl ange engines. Lycoming does NOT want paint under the hold down plates as t hat creates lose stud torque over time. ME, I would remove paint before riveting but would be ok with a thin layer of primer under the rivet head. Gary A.
