I was able to get the fuselage mostly prepped for primer last night, so this morning I wheeled it outside and did final degreaser wipe down and prep for primer.

I then shot 2 medium coats for the first round of epoxy primer (gray) for the fuselage (strakes, nose, etc.).

Another shot of the fuselage in gray epoxy primer.  Obviously the bottom half of the nose and fuselage, already in white boat paint primer, is taped off.  That will get a sealer and then topcoat along with this primer later on.

Much later in the evening, I hit pinholes, scratches and divots with Icing filler, and some of the rough/low spots with gray 2K high build primer.

More shots of nose and fuselage surface cleanups with Icing filler and high build 2K primer.

One last shot of Icing filler and 2K primer on the epoxy primered fuselage/strakes.

It was quite late by this point, so I called it a night.
