|  Painting aluminum
I've done some research on painting aluminum, they all say you should prime with an epoxy primer. But the real stuff is two parts, and I'm not setup to do that sorta painting. I guess I could go with a self-etching primer, then a ureathane primer, then paint. Any sugguestions?

I got turned on to this product fro Drumbeater Klean-Strip "Bulldog" and it works great for bonding paint to just about any surface including plastic metals and glass and it is a flex additive which means you can prime lexan with it and paint with any paint you want and it won't chip off. It's a bit spendy at $18 per large aerosol can.
