[QUOTE="Iammichael6499, post: 492710, member: 30369"] [B]Just in case anyone else is considering painting bare aluminum I recently used “Raptor Anti-Corrosive Epoxy Primer” inside my Lowe 1860. No etching necessary but it does need a scuffed up surface. I rolled it on vs spraying. Cleaned the surface with acetone prior to rolling. After priming I sprayed “Raptor Protective Coating, Tintable” which requires a hardener and is in essentially a bed liner without the grit. I wanted a lightly textured surface so I set the gun at 50psi and the compressor at 90psi. Only vertical surfaces, console and live well were painted. The weather went south on me so I won’t finish painting the areas around the hatches until this coming spring.
