Re: Anyone paint an aluminum tool box or anything aluminum?

In general, regular primer (laquer) will not adhere to aluminum. It needs to be clean, sanded and in some cases,...

Re: Paint guns.....

Re: clear coat pealing!!!

I agree. Sand and repaint.Possibly there was a cheaper quality paint used on the A/M cover. Possible the based hadn't "flashed" properly prior to clear. Nothing you can do to stop it or reverse it
