Thanks everyone. I have been doing some research on my own and have found that marine applications recommend a ZINC Phosphate based primer that is apparently available through marine suppliers. I had hoped that some of the "paint gurus" would have added their expertise to this thread but I will continue to research.
Incidentally, firebird, when I mentioned "regular" bondo I was referring to the type normally used on steel, not to the commercial brand name. I wondered if there was a specific formula for aluminum.
I have discovered that Evercoat recommends their product to be used directly on bare aluminum although it can also be used over a primer. Does anyone have any experience with this?Last edited by RestoRod; 12-10-2008 at 05:13 PM.
