I have herd quite a bit of controversy over primers.Heres my 2 cents.

When I built my 360 I used WLS primer Lancair provided.It worked fine,and
the paint job is holding up well (9 years) and at the time I didn't think it
was hard to sand.

UNTIL upon building my Lancair ES,a friend of mine told me about FLIGHT
GLOSS system from POLY-FIBER in Riverside California.(sounds like an
advertisement doesn't it ?)
Smooth prime is a waterborne urethane.  It will not shrink,and it
stays extremely flexible.

They have a complete system, with topcoat paints. It has UV blockers in the
system.  I had quite a conversation with one of the owners,and he knows
of the problems in the past of shrinking,He claims in no way will his shrink.
I have primed about half of my ES.  You roll on about 6 coats and sand.
It works great,and does a good job of filling pin holes. And it is VERY easy
to sand.

Address is Poly-Fiber,Inc
P.O.Box 3129
Riverside,Ca 92519
PH# 800-362 3490
 
I hope this helps.
