the best for this is PPG DAU 75 clear with the dxr 80 harder if they still make if ? the ppg rep told me 15 years ago that they did not want to keep this line of clear but it was still the best they had for alum. i used it about 5 years ago still could get it around here i used it on vintage road racing wheels i used many gallons of this stuff on race wheels and over 500 sets and work good on alum and mag needs to be sprayed out of a gun and over all hold up should be good you should do a test panel with a sheet of alum . you will have to clean your body very good
