[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 110160, member: 2148"] Well I was able to get a coat of etching primer(green stuff) on all the bare aluminum. Tough to find but finally found some at an auto parts store. About $6/can. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Primer Coat 1.JPG"]8951._xfImport[/ATTACH] Followed that up with a coat of regular Rustoleum primer on the top half that I plan to paint. Not sure I needed it, but I figured I'd be safe and it only cost me about $5. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Primer Coat 2.JPG"]8952._xfImport[/ATTACH] Also did a test sample of paint color I have in mind.....Red Metallic....let me know what you think... [ATTACH type="full" alt="Paint Sample.JPG"]8953._xfImport[/ATTACH] Steelflex should be here tomorrow(black). Hoping to get get that done tomorrow night. I'm thinking of spraying a coat of Clear Gloss Enamel over the paint to give it a little more shine and another protective layer. Anybody ever done it? Just wondering if it's a good idea or bad.
