Re: Painting aluminum

I've had very very good luck with StarBrite aluminum cleaner. It's made for the marine industry, specifically cleaning aluminum pontoons.

Re: Painting aluminum

I do what 62c30 and A1971 Blazer do. Clean them then lightly sand blast. You can use a self-etching primer if you want and they will hold paint a long time.
