Aluminum painting newbie here:
Ok so I have a roughly 1 foot by 8 inch 0.064 piece of aluminum that I want to prime and paint.
I plan on cleaning with acetone,
then BONDERITE C-IC 33 AERO/ ALUMIPREP 33
then alodine
then priming and then painting.
The piece has a few very light surface scratches/tool marks - nothing deep.
Question:
I planned on first scuffing the entire piece with the 3M Scotch Brite Red Hand Pad:
Is this a mistake?
Thanks!
