That's exactly it Steve! Repair and re-use!

Primed wing looks great! Was the etch-primer applied with a compressor and gun or aerosol?

It chemically 'etches' into the metal underneath and bonds to it really well so that the paint added on top afterwards doesn't flake off.

Probably. Halfords sell it but it's expensive.
