Hi guys,
It used to be the main coating system for metal aircraft, zink chromate for aluminum and welded molydenium steel structures, in addition the aluminum was alodoined befor the zink chromate came on.

Is this still the way to go today, or have some modern epoxy primers taken over? Befor the 2k paint comes on.
And where would I buy small quantities of alodine 1201 and some Zink Chromate spray? Aircraft spruce.de doesn`t carry it as well as Siebert. de

Truely, best regards,
Johannes :)
