Aluminum Painting Tips and Tricks 

Thanks for the video! Bottle label suggestion: placing a piece of clear packing tape over the writing will help protect it from the alcohol.

Thank you for your recommendations and video presentation. It was very helpful. Even though you did not offer alternative procedures, you were very clear in your presentation. And the experience you have had with results was very helpful.

Awesome vid. Try Brother P-Touch labels for labelling PP dispensers containing IPA or acetone. The adhesive is really flexible and stands up to the solvents well. Since the text isn’t ink based, it doesn’t wear off.

For labeling dot-dot-dot it's an exacto knife and some fluorescent duct tape and cut out the name of the product or the molecular formula of the solution and stick it to the bottle. 😉👍

Very informative. Thank you for posting this video.

Best video I’ve watched, thank you for the detail.

6:07 - “respirators are like $8 bucks...they’re practically disposable.” COVID-19 - “Hold my drink.”

sounds like a hurricane outside the building.

Wow, exceptionally valuable video.......if you try to find out the process (from prime to finish coat), there are poor instructions on Rustoleum cans! Thank you!!

Great pointers! Thanks!

That’s a topic well covered

Your putting more trust in a brand name, than more proven product like etching primer or epoxy primer. one time i thought rustoleum high pro paint was recommended as it says its for masonary use, but it is not, & the hard finish cracks & peels off quickly compared to plastic or flex paints. also many reviews suggests very low quality failure of the specific labeled rustoleum etch primer, so use something good or mid class like Dupi etch primer with a mask, its temporary acidic. oil paint is fine unless it going through exstreams of expansion & contraction. a scotch pad & abrasive/powder or vinagear realy removes oxidazation before primer. neutralize vinegar or acids before painting, can use alcohol, but its not a great grease removal substance by it self. You said: I don't know, so I want to offer helpful advice. its all about the next highest level for a painter, or maybe not.

Is the house roof still on? That wind is gusting like mad :)

I didn't realize there was a special primer for aluminum and I definitely like the minimal overspray. Got a link for the respirator? Best wishes, Tom Z

wow, costs of things have gone up a lot in the last 4-5 years

I like the prices from 2017...

I'm painting a 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum fuel door for my 2005 f150. I'll try this primer but what flat black paint should I use over this primer? Also how would you recommend I clean the fuel door first without scratching it?

Thanks for the vid.

Is it okay to spray paint alluminum without the primer?

Could you link to the squirt bottles, please. Great video.

Do you need to sand brand new aluminum or can you just put the primer on and then the paint? Just got new running boards for my truck and the underside is just bare aluminum I want to protect them more thanks

"Safety idiot"..... nice

What this video needs is more talking. Ugh. Just couldnt make it to the point where you actually painted something.

You talk about so much about other thing and not about the actually panting

Too much distracting nervous motion and extraneous information that is not necessary - e.g., labels. Who cares?
