[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 471354, member: 24227"] It's hard to get paint to stick well to aluminum. If you already have a coat of factory paint, use that as your primer and paint over it. It's easier to get paint to stick to paint than to aluminum. I would scuff the surface of the existing paint with some 80 grip sandpaper just to make sure you have a rough, clean surface for the paint to adhere to. Vacuum and wipe down the surface and paint.
