[QUOTE="oldude, post: 421482, member: 20410"] Reading the instructions on the G flex 655 I got it looks like I will have to sand down to bare aluminum clean with acetone, vinegar wash and then prime with self etching primer. Basically I to get rid of the top coats of paint I put on for the 5200. One ques tho. My understanding ( I've never riveted before) of riveting is that you put sealer around the base of the shaft to seal the head when bucking. If I only buck the rivet "snug", then wait for the Gflex to fully cure before bucking the rivets tight wouldn't that break the seal? Unrelated but have you or anyone else seen/used these?
