[QUOTE="DarynCashmark, post: 374488, member: 16165"] The DA sander is a good way to go. Just be sure to have enough capacity on you air compressor. It uses a ton! I ended up Y-ing the output of a couple of 2 hp. compressors together to keep up. I would definitely recommend using a self-etching primer anywhere there is bare aluminum showing, otherwise I would just try to use the same kind of primer as paint. (Enamel, epoxy, urethane, etc.) I actually used an acid etching primer on my current project. It is made by a company called U-Pol. It is a little pricey, but it works really well. [/QUOTE]
