Will an epoxy automotive primer be good for an aluminum hull as a base for final painting?
SlimeTime said:You're good with the epoxy for aluminum (as well as stainless, steel, etc). However I think you need to pre-treat the aluminum with chromate conversion. To be real honest, not having fooled with it for awhile I can't remember. Best thing to do would be to stop in at an automitive paint supplier (not Lowes, or a lumber comnpany) and ask to be sure about the pre-treat. Be sure you're aware of application temps, as they can play a factor as well.
