• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have a Sensenich metal prop for my Acrosport II. It is the usual grey color. It would look a whole lot better if it were painted to match the airplane. I've searched around on the internet, and as usual, there seems to be alot of varied opinions on it. I was planning on chemically stripping the old paint, then using an epoxy primer with a urethane, single stage, top coat, just like I have done on all of the aluminum sheetmetal on the parts of the airplane that I have painted. I also thought about using Alodine, instead of the epoxy primer. I think that's what the prop shops use most of the time.


Anybody here ever had any experience with this?
