Painting a Tamiya Box Trailer w/enamel

[DPD327]

Has anyone painted a Tamiya Box Trailer with enamel? I am looking to paint the sides, front and rear doors with white enamel but not sure if it'll take.

Would a lacquer be a better idea? Would I have to prime first? Would I need to etch the metal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DupliColor sells in auto parts stores a self-etching primer that sticks pretty good to aluminum - just make sure to prep it good.
