[QUOTE="BCOWANWHEELS, post: 318999, member: 12048"] BEFORE YOU PAINT ANY ALUMINUM YOU NEED TO "ETCH" IT THEN NEUTRALIZE IT AND DO NOT TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HANDS AFTER THAT BEFORE PAINTING IT. aluminum has oil in it and it needs to be removed correctly when I was younger i rebuilt a PETERBILT semi truck cab, I was so proud of it . it shinned like a new penny with the imron paint then 1 day i went thru a big rain storm and when it sub sided the on comming semi's got on the CB radio and said look at the zebra striped truck so I pulled over and half of my paint was gone. this is how I learnned about how to prep alumnum for painting. dupont make real good etcher chemicals, cant remember the numbers,comes in quarts and dont get it on your hands/eyes etc. bob [/QUOTE]
