Sprayed the second coat of paint just before lunch today. Much better look than the first coat! Looks 1000 times better! I went a little heavy with the paint intentionally...surface has a slight orange peel look, but that helps to hide some of the blemishes. Not perfect, but as my Uncle would say.....It's good enough for who it's for! LOL!!!! <sarc>The first coats never look the way you want . Do like you are and go slow . It will come together .
Glad it came together , I figured it would ..surface has a slight orange peel look,

It will be fine for many years, I've painted aluminum commercial fishing boats that still look pretty damn good after many years of neglect in the ocean. I used Aluma Bright to prep the bare metal, then auto paint that was the cheapest that I could find at the time.Dave, the aluma bright Is an acid etching surface prep for aluminum. It has phos. acid in it....
