Prepped Aileron Braces for Priming

I finished deburring the aileron braces and dimpled for the holes that attach them to the skin.  I decided to prime under the aileron braces, so I clecoed them on, taped around them, and scuffed the area with a scotchbrite pad.

I’m trying to avoid getting primer on parts of the airplane that will later be painted with the exterior color since I will have to reprime then anyway (since the top coat has to be applied to the primer within a limited window of time).

I also scuffed the backside of these braces with a scotchbrite pad since I’m not going to be etching these.
