Living in AZ has nothing to do with the lousy spray characteristics of
Sherwin-Williams was primer. I started my project in Portland, and had the
same difficulties. Locating a source for Dupont's Veri-Prime was a
challenge (finally found some at West Bay Auto in the Seattle area), but now
that I've had some personal experience with it, I'm sold! The Dupont goes
in very smoothly and consistently, with none of the congealing hassles of
the SW.

Fellow builders,
I just finished primering the wing skins and I am finally out of the SW wash
primer. I am very disappointed in this product and do not recommend it.
Years ago I used a wash primer similar to the SW on my RV-4 with very little
problems, however the SW was a real nightmare. My main issue is spitting of
chunks of semi congealed primer on the surface and runs. I mixed the primer
per the directions, tried different pressures and different guns, but still
similar results. I live in Arizona and the climate is a bit dry which may
have contributed. The inside of my wing skins are speckled with primer, but
know one will see this.
Now that I am finished primering all my wing components I will be using the
AKZO primer on the fuselage. It may be more of a little hassle to set up,
but the results appear so much more consistent then the SW primer.

Speaking of primer, I am about to receive my QB kit and had the thought
that there is not THAT much priming to do so was thinking of using
rattle cans.
Is this sound thinking and which primer would you guys recommend for
this purpose...I live in Western Oregon.
Thanks
Frank

I would still recommend Dupont VariPrime, as it is a self-etching primer and
I've had good luck with it so far. Just lightly scuff the bare metal with
some fine Scotchbrite and apply the paint.
If you don't want to hassle with paint guns & compressors, I've found a neat
little product by PreVal that is a can of propellant and nozzle (like a
rattle can) that screws on to the top of a glass jar supplied with the kit.
It's easy to clean and you can store any leftover paint in the jar
(VariPrime has a 6 day pot life), so you waste less paint. I paid about $10
for the kit including a can of propellant, and extra propellant cans (with
new nozzles) are about $4. Except for mixing the 2-part paint, this is just
about as easy as a rattle can.

cheap so I'll just pick one up.

Whatever you do, don't get the $8 one from Harborfreight. I made THAT
mistake. (Well, not a biggie, only a $8 mistake)
Have a look:
