    Painting a Rover

    My Rover has been stripped of it's paint (I bought it that way). Hopefully this spring/summer I will paint it myself. Is there anything different about painting aluminum that I should know?

      Second that, I even Emailed the author about my paint job, and he's a really helpful, knowledgeable guy.

        The author and I do the same kind of work. I agree with what he has written. I would however, use alodine solution first on the bare aluminum. If I misssed in the article I apologize. The LP paints, hes on the money. I use it because I have to. I would only add that the most important thing is the primer to metal bond. Do this right and you are almost home free.
