Etch primer is the only stuff that will stick to aluminium.
I use U-Pol ACID #8 mainly because it's available from Halfords.

The last can (aerosol) I bought, I had to buy from a specialist paint supplier 'cos my "has everything" local motor factors
didn't have any.
It was *gulp* 9 quid..
Don't be tempted to use normal primer though, the paint will just fall off alli.

You only need a light dusting of etch primer then normal primer will go on top of it. A can will go a long way and paint suppliers are cheaper than
Halfords.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Yeah, but no postage. Only use it on ally and 2 tins have done 3/4 of the ally on my car.

its only for bike parts. blasted a few parts up, suspension bits etc. will etch them and just rub down the frame and prime a repaint over the existing
paint.

I also use the Upol stuff. Really nice stuff on ali and I've been using the same can for ages so it's got a fair few ML in it....

Just worked out that a can is good for roughly 3m^2 of ally with 2 good coats.
