[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 122178, member: 2148"] You definitely want an Etching Primer, not just regular primer. You need an etching primer so that is bites into the aluminum for good adhesion. You can get Rustoleum etching primer at Wal-Mart in the automotive aisle. Comes in spray cans for about $5/can, depending on the size of the boat and what you plan to paint, you may need 2-4 cans. You can also find it at most auto parts stores. If you don't use an etching primer you may have some problems with the paint peeling off the boat. If you plan to use Steelflex you won't need any primer on that area. [/QUOTE]
