Aliminium to GRP?
Make sure you rough up the aliminium surface first (makes a huge difference).
You could use epoxy (it'll stick to dry polyester GRP and ali nicely). I'd shy away from polyester as you'll likely just get a thin film that will delaminate.
That would be my choice (unless you're gluing shed loads on in which case it'll get a bit expensive). You could mix in some micro balloons- otherwise if the back surface is bumpy you'll end up with quite a thick overly-strong layer of epoxy.

'Gripfill' Bonds just about anything to anything, you will probably not get it off again!
