I just primed it with a zinc chromate primer. It is made for painting aluminum, hopefully this does the trick. i spent alot of time last night preping it. It has been cleaned and sanded a few times. I will put the final black coat on tomorrow. i bought an industrial strenght enamel metal paint for that. i only paid 75 for the box which is a low profile kobalt in nice shape, and 30 for paint and primer. After all the work i've put into this little project i hope it turns out nice.
