[QUOTE="dearl, post: 427255, member: 1760"] Ok you might be ok, going forward remember, paint will not stick to aluminum very long with out being "etched". there are several ways to do this, the easiest and least expensive is to use a self etching primer. Aluminum by nature oxidizes to protect itself from the elements, that's why you see new aluminum turn white over a period of time, etching makes the aluminum accept and hold paint, instead of repeal it. You still got plenty of painting to do, its a learning process, you'll see what works and doesn't as you go. [/QUOTE]
