Fellow Builders:

We're at a stage in our ES project were it makes sense for us to start some 
picking at some of the body work on a few of our sub assemblies. Long ago, 
when I used to do body work on cars, I employed a technique where I would 
apply & edit filers until I got them as best as I could, and then apply a 
quick shot of cheap sandable primer. The primer let me see the how well I 
did by presenting the work in a uniform color and made any areas that 
needed additional work stand out. I would then repeat the process until I 
had a uniform surface.

The question is: Does anyone know of cheap sandable primer that can be used 
in this capacity on a our ES project before we move onto the more expensive 
aircraft specific primers, fillers and paints? The goal is to avoid an 
extensive paint compatibility-testing endeavor on scrap material with 
expensive products. Thoughts anyone? And as always, thanks in advance for 
your support.
