The primer used to be chromate based (green/yellow) – but as the chromate is not so human friendly when sprayed it has been superceded by modern primers.

For cockpit grey green – either go to the local paint shop and get some mixed quickly – as the solvent borne paints are being phased out! The solvent borne cellulose paints have doubled in price since last year!

Or you can purchase 1 litre tins of the correct cockpit grey green as well as the chromate from LAS Aeropsace.

We use it for painting the inside of our panels..
