Any paint that will stick to aluminum good?I want to paint a few things on my x (baja bumper ect.)Any paint that's good quality.Powder coating is to expensive right now.Thanks guys.

 

auto parts store, they make spray cans for rim's, light and dark grey, also clear, sand, sand , sand, also more durable, they sell caliper paint , get the kit it comes in a little can, you brush it on, several coats, it sticks good , red, yellow,
ect. yellow matches nice. whatever u use clean it and sand between coats. and top coat with clear. another trick i used to use , is skid tape bought at lowes, i used to use it on my 2 stroke pipe and it stayed, im going to use it on the clutch cover ect, dont touch it when installing it. btw for alum go to lowes and buy some truck toolbox cleaner, shines rim's bumper ect. nice and cheap, 11 dollars and it lasts

 

POWDERCOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, but yea i hear ya, guys are goin nuts raising prices on powdercoat, but i do have a guy in PA that did 4 rims for $100, local PC guys wanted $150-$200. never hurts to ask if u want it done right, so if u want me to send him an email let me know

 

if your doing alum only anodizing works realy well and is no more then powder coating.

 

self etching primer helps paint stick alot better!!!!!!

 

Thanks ill try the self etching primer..I wanted to paint all the alluminum on my 05 x..I dont like shiny things sorta speak.I want to go for the all black look.

 

THAT!!!!!Sounds down right sexy post some pic's and i would agree etching the alum would help panit adhere to it better.post them up when your done.
