Aluminum Painting Tips and Tricks

[@limpport]

Thanks for the video! Bottle label suggestion: placing a piece of clear packing tape over the writing will help protect it from the alcohol.

[@margieholm2385]

Thank you for your recommendations and video presentation. It was very helpful. Even though you did not offer alternative procedures, you were very clear in your presentation. And the experience you have had with results was very helpful.

[@IzziedeD]

Awesome vid. Try Brother P-Touch labels for labelling PP dispensers containing IPA or acetone. The adhesive is really flexible and stands up to the solvents well. Since the text isn’t ink based, it doesn’t wear off.

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

Got one after I did this video. They work great. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@danitaminer6863]

Your idea is better than mine using duct tape

[@danitaminer6863]

For labeling dot-dot-dot it's an exacto knife and some fluorescent duct tape and cut out the name of the product or the molecular formula of the solution and stick it to the bottle. 😉👍

[@ibrahimwehbe1153]

That’s a topic well covered

Is the house roof still on? That wind is gusting like mad :)

sounds like a hurricane outside the building.

Great pointers! Thanks!

[@borderlandsmuntjac5940]

Very informative. Thank you for posting this video.

[@EquipIntegration]

Wow, exceptionally valuable video.......if you try to find out the process (from prime to finish coat), there are poor instructions on Rustoleum cans! Thank you!!

[@jagers4xford471]

You have a hurricane going off in the back ground? Thanks for the video..

[@dawnbray6090]

Best video I’ve watched, thank you for the detail.

Is your shop under underneath the railroad station? It is very hard to listen with all of the noise going on.

[@kdhardt]

I like the prices from 2017...

[@Juice19971]

thanks man helped me heaps

[@aaronfuksa2047]

Your putting more trust in a brand name, than more proven product like etching primer or epoxy primer. one time i thought rustoleum high pro paint was recommended as it says its for masonary use, but it is not, & the hard finish cracks & peels off quickly compared to plastic or flex paints. also many reviews suggests very low quality failure of the specific labeled rustoleum etch primer, so use something good or mid class like Dupi etch primer with a mask, its temporary acidic. oil paint is fine unless it going through exstreams of expansion & contraction. a scotch pad & abrasive/powder or vinagear realy removes oxidazation before primer. neutralize vinegar or acids before painting, can use alcohol, but its not a great grease removal substance by it self. You said: I don't know, so I want to offer helpful advice. its all about the next highest level for a painter, or maybe not.

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

All I can tell you is that I used this exact product and procedure 5 years ago on the same vents on a different building, and they look like they did the day I installed them. Low cost, simple procedure and excellent durability for my application. I am very happy with it, and I am glad that I used it again for this project.

[@TomZelickman]

I didn't realize there was a special primer for aluminum and I definitely like the minimal overspray. Got a link for the respirator? Best wishes, Tom Z

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

I have links in the description for the body, and the cartridges. I like the MSA since that is what I have used as a firefighter for years, but check and see what your local welding shop stocks and I would go with that brand just for ease of resupply. I have particulate filters and the organic vapor and they are great. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@50LOT1]

what If i want to dip the aluminum inside a solution that has color ? would it be okay

[@thiagarayaselvam2861]

Sir ,Is Aluminium paint is resistance with water.That is it will bear the water resistant. ~

[@4DSCdude]

@@Mr_boston1630 it says i commented that 3 years ago but man i swear i just watched this video like a couple weeks ago 🤨

[@A.C.71]

I'm painting a 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum fuel door for my 2005 f150. I'll try this primer but what flat black paint should I use over this primer? Also how would you recommend I clean the fuel door first without scratching it?

[@50LOT1]

can you paint aluminum without etching prime ?

[@alienproductions9948]

Could you link to the squirt bottles, please. Great video.

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

They are 20 years old. I have no idea who they are from. Thanks for watching.

[@gangstaelegantproductions2780]

Those primers are almost $10 at Home Depot now 😁

[@fieldsofomagh]

Great info on doing the job and getting successful results !

[@johncnorris]

Good tips.

[@theodoremeljac674]

Would like to have to seen the paint your were using you keep shaking so much could not see the name on the paint.

[@marc31415]

I love wind

[@dommirra5429]

Do you need to sand brand new aluminum or can you just put the primer on and then the paint? Just got new running boards for my truck and the underside is just bare aluminum I want to protect them more thanks

[@allanragnarson7898]

Protect from what? Aluminum doesn't rust

[@merlinious01]

@@allanragnarson7898 It does oxidize, but the oxide layer is impermeable to oxygen, so a thin layer "rusts" preventing further rusting. In his instance, I imagine that he is protecting it from road debris like gravel and salt, which together can pit the aluminum. At the very least, the debris can remove the shine from polished aluminum.

[@Nath-sn1mv]

Nice ute 🤙🏼

[@tarun_6864]

should I chromate or use acetone

[@davoniegalicha3162]

Is it okay to spray paint alluminum without the primer?

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

I didn't, and I wouldn't. The method that I showed has held up great for about 5 years now. Good luck with your project.

[@TheSeancassady]

@@r.j.sworkshop7883 These are going indoors also, so outdoor stuff would probably start showing wear pretty quickly.

[@SoM-if7mv]

how to remove the paint from aluminium? I am having difficulties to remove the paint from aluminium :(

[@chronicawareness9986]

paint stripper, or wire brush

[@merlinious01]

Heat gun works, but is slow going as aluminum transfers heat very well. But, that also means it is forgiving and localized.

[@joshuaatkins5197]

If you use wire brush or wheel make sure to use one with stainless steel bristles. You don't want to embed another material into the aluminum.

[@goldenhazeduster]

Thanks for the vid.

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

Thanks for watching Scott.

[@fathiya_9714]

I want to repaint my aluminum kitchen cap board. What color would you advise me to use . thanks

I'm looking to find a high gloss pearl white paint that color shifts to electric blue only with no purple or other colors? Also, I am seeking a pearl silver that color shifts to black pearl?

[@uscrunch]

Can i use rubbing alcohol to clean surface

[@marc31415]

or maybe its the fan

[@ipman5418]

"Safety idiot"..... nice

[@jamescole3152]

Not even sure if that was the primer..

[@jeffmilkey]

Label it...even though I don't do that...Read the Directions....I don't read the directions though....

[@muzzlbrake634]

What this video needs is more talking. Ugh. Just couldnt make it to the point where you actually painted something.

[@JFBence]

Aluminium....

[@asiastreets4032]

You talk about so much about other thing and not about the actually panting

[@charlesmartin351]

Too much distracting nervous motion and extraneous information that is not necessary - e.g., labels. Who cares?

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

It is allot better than all of the videos that you have contributed to the world, oh wait, you have been too busy complaining to make any. Thanks for watching.
