[QUOTE="DiverJosh82, post: 421196, member: 21471"] Looking good! I have a question about your paint prep work. After you put the self etching primer on, how long did you let it cure before you scuffed it up for the next paint work? I applied the rusto self etching primer on Saturday evening and today I took my fingernail to a hidden area and it scraped right off! Now I'm worried big time about my adhesion.. I think I did it right, I scuffed up the bare aluminum, washed it with tsp (which apparently has etching ability on aluminum) let it dry and did two nice and light coats of the etching primer. Sorry I didn't mean to hijack your thread! I just admired the quality of your paint work and figured you could give me some advice. I'm thinking of giving it a few days, then going at it pretty good with scotch write pads, giving it a good wash then maybe either more primer of straight to paint.. Whatchu think? Also I like your tick stick. I'm a carpenter by trade so I know what your talking about.. Josh [/QUOTE]
