Like also if you have a spray gun with a mirrored external surface,
dribbles of paint may require chemical stripping to remove!
If flying with primer, I think one needs a plan to deal with all
manner of contaminants that can bore deep into the primer, with no way
to know how much needs to be sanded before topcoating. A few fisheyes
can ruin an entire wing. I don't know what the best plan is, but
maybe a thin film of a compatible something to seal it up. Will have
to sand anyway. I have experienced fisheyes and mottling where you
sand down further into the primer, recoat, and they reappear!
