Default RE: Which primer for metal retracts?

If you can get hold of an etch primer all well and good, you can also scotchbrite the landing gear, degrease, I soak mine in very warm water that has got wash detergent in it, soak for about 30 mins then dry. The photo below is a set of Mig 29 landing gear that has one coat of 2k primer and a coat of clearcoat.
