[QUOTE="Gibson, post: 328222, member: 9026"] Went with zinc chromate primer. The stuff is funny to work with because it goes on thick and kind of rough. If you go this route, I found it was best to use 2 coats (sanding with 220 grit in between coats). It will give a better finish in the end. On another note: You may notice the aluminum is more shiny. I suggest BEFORE you prime and paint, you get some aluminum boat wash. It's usually marked as something for pontoon boats. Spray it on, let it foam up, and hose it off immediately. Shines like it was new. [/QUOTE]
