Casting - Primer
(OP)
I have a question regarding primer painting.
We are getting a casting/machining order from a company, followed by transport to another location for assembly.
All the non-machined surfaces can be painted for corrosion protection, but I'm not certain what to do about machined surfaces. Should a primer coat be requested for protection until assembly, or can that mess with tolerance values.
Thanks!

They are also stainless, does stainless even require shop priming.
Anyway whaterver is the simplest solution

For the size/weight issue - the US military uses DH and VCIs for full size battle tanks. Painting contractors regularly enclose sections of bridges (say... 20x20x20 meters) for DH and blast containment.
You shouldn't need it for stainless anyway.
