[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 433830, member: 9884"] He best primer I know of is a product called MP-10. It's sold by Tuff Coat, and is a 1 part water based self etching primer. The directions state that you scrub the bare aluminum with a 50/50 water and muratic acid mix and a stiff bristle brush. Rinse, let dry, and just roll it on. No solvents or anything. Let it dry to touch, and top coat over it. This stuff is REALLY tough once it cures. While painting the bilge in my boat I left some primer unpainted for several weeks and attempted to sand it off with 80 grit with minimal success. I found Amazon had the cheapest price at 24.99 a quart, which is pretty reasonable, considering the price of a can of zinc phosphate primer. You only need one coat after all. [/QUOTE]
