My first entry so be gentle with me,
I am about to get some soft CAD plating done on some steel parts. I notice the
tailwheel leg/spring has some light corrosion on it and it has never left the
workshop.
My dilemma is do I plate it or not, will plating embrittle and affect spring
qualities,
if indeed it is a spring?
I also just got the main ( Mono) leg painted in a chip resistant white, it made
the engine/ gear mount and Rudder pedal paintwork look amateur,( the rudder
pedal
paint came off with the masking tape factory wrapped around it), so I decided
to repaint. Cleaning it off with Nitromors it just ran off, with residual
wiped off with a cloth, no sign of surface prep or priming.
Anyone else repainted these items?
