Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II

[tc1cat]

Reg,

What do you use for a primer on the aluminum? This has always been a sticking point with me. Either use no primer and hope or make a mess trying different paints!!

I usually only prime stuff that needs some light bodywork. I use regular spray paint most of the time so it sprays on thick. Too many coats add up and I lose details. My Hayes is painted with Valspar paint and the box still hasn't worn thru from hauling gravel. The KW is done with Plastikote. Both seem to spray and stick well. I was told they are both made by the same manufacturer but I can't say for sure.
