[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 299703, member: 6937"] Priming bare steel is one thing, aluminum is another matter. Aluminum immediately reacts with air to form a skin of aluminum oxide. This oxide coating can be very problematic. Conventional primer will not work, it will flake off. Anytime you prime bare aluminum, you need to use zinc chromate primer, or self-etching primer that is specifically for aluminum. [/QUOTE]
