I'm about to prime my upper wing surfaces, flaps and ailerons. The
question is
what to do about the hinges. Should they be primed and eventually painted
as
well? Do they need any special preparation prior to applying coating?<

The hinges I used came with a clear annodize.  To check you can use an ohm
meter and see if your hinges are coated or not.  If they are annodized like
mine, there is no reason to paint or prime them.
