Fantastic thread guys.

Has anyone attempted to paint brightside onto aluminum yet? Any compatibility problems? Is primer required?



Well... my first thought is that Brightside 'should' be quite compatible with aluminum - because Brightside is a marine paint and it normally is put on aluminum, fiberglass and wood.

BUT as for surface preparation... I would suspect you would have to go to the Interlux web site and see what 'their' recommendations are for surface preparation.

You also might want to scout out some of the message forums for the fly boys.. and see what the airplane owners have to say about painting aluminum... as there are quite a few do it yourselfers who are painting their own planes. They might have an even better insight into surface preparation.
