[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 433886, member: 15636"] You can paint over previous well-adhered paint. You only etch with the zinc chromate 'bare' aluminum. If you're having a problem finding it, I'd sand to roughen up (allows paint to somewhat mechanically stick to the surface) then would clean with white vinegar, but only on bare tin spots! Wipe clean, then wipe any bare spots with new cloth/rag wet with white vinegar and let it dry well. Paint should stick no problems. I use the zinc chromate as I boat in saltwaters ... but it's easy to [i]over do[/i] this stuff ... [/QUOTE]
