Painting tips

Kenny:
Well the 90 deserves a paint job - I have started to rub down (great way to get the mud off using a sander) and ready for the Desert Sand. Issue is what should I use to protect the steel prior to painting and also what sort of paint should I use on the bare aluminium.

TIA

Damian

Dangermouse:
Self etching primer, the only stuff for bare aluminium & then wot ever float's your boat. Normal paint's & primers don't like to stick to bare aluminium or galvernising for that matter.

nzrover:
Aluminium etch primer (not steel etch primer) such as a zinc-chromate based one.  Give the bare areas a quick wash with meths or IPA before priming.

Kenny:
What a terrible waste of Meths ;)

Thanks
