[QUOTE="wihoulihan, post: 305537, member: 11125"] For prepping I was able to keep most of the original print as a base.I first cleaned the surface than sanded it all with a finishing sander light scuffing really. Scratch it up a bit. On th e open aluminum which was more than I thought. I sanded real well with a sanding block, I cleaned the surface again. At that point I did a vinegar wash to help bring up the acid level of the aluminum surface to help the paint stick let it dry and wiped off excess than on the open aluminum I used a zinc primer alot of guys say use zinc chromate primer but it's hard to find now so I found a zinc primer for galvanized metal a nice light coat not like usual primer after that it was good to go. For application I did roller there is a method to or but can't think of the method, but roll it on than take a brush at a 45 degree angle with a brush. The first coat went on decent the second went really well. It is a little cold so taking a bit to dry. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
