Aluminum paint

Prepping the bottom half, getting ready for primer coat. Top half is gray Rustoleum and I am pleased with it. Don't want to take bottom half all the way down to metal, and thought about Rustoleum aluminum for the bottom. If I scratch it, it won't be as noticeable. Any one have any experience with aluminum paint? I will probably go with at least three coats.

Trailer is Rustoleum gloss black. Looking for contrast on the bottom against the gray and black.

I just painted with some today.
I painted the inside of a little project tinny. It covers really well, half a quart made one coat without thinning. A foam roller lays it on nice and smooth. I found It had really separated in the can so get the store to shake it for you. I used a drill to stir it up. I had also thought of painting the bottom.

Best results will start with a etching primer.

Well ,in the end it may be a moot question. I think I have talked myself out of aluminum and going to Hunter Green. The aluminum may be a bit to bright and shiny.
I like it inside like on Weldor's set up.

If you are going green, I highly recommend Duralux. It's basically, if not exactly, the same stuff you see on most jon boats sold today. Painted a Grizzly 1648 with it about 4 years ago and the paint still looks new. If you want to spray it, you have to thin it with MEK.

Thanks for the tip, but already have three coats of Rustoleum on the bottom half.
