Hey guys, I want to paint the tanks/frame flat black and the core will get a super lite dust coat of flat black as well. What do you guys use to prep aluminium/rad for paint? Rat
i use an etching primer. clean with prep solv or somethng like it then shoot some etching primer then shoot your paint. you can get the etching primer in a spray bomb from martin senour and i'm sure others. good luck.
a few coats of green etch primer and at least 150 grit paper to start with on the alum it tends to peel with finer grit over time
Degrease and 1 thin coat of epoxy primer, then your choice of top colour, Done all mine that way and it lasts.
Not if its a light coat... I use alumaprep and semiflat black krylon. Last one I painted is still going strong 8 years later.
Not noticed any difference but keep the coats thin and light obviously. Sent from my iPhone using TJJ
