This surface has excellent adhesion (as long as it has not been coated with a sealer) as it is specially treated to produce a thick layer of oxidization making it stronger, stable (non-reactive to the air), and more porous. It is generally a tougher, more matte surface compared to natural aluminum.
Ensure the surface is clean and free from dirt, grease, and other contaminants before priming.
Prime all bare metal with 1 coat Super Grip Premium Problem-Solving Primer and allow to dry thoroughly.
Use Ulttima Plus Acrylic Porch & Patio Enamel, Ulttima Plus Satin or Gloss (emulsion or oil) or Pro Speed Cover Gloss Emulsion.

From Aluminum to Zinc and everything in between, this handy guide is a life-saver with specifications from our Vice President of Technical and Head of Innovation (who has been designing formulas specifically for the Caribbean environment for 30 years) identifying the exact coating system you’ll need to guarantee success in coating virtually any surface.
This guide details coating systems to effectively colour, coat, and protect virtually any surface encountered in standard construction, renovation and maintenance environments. It provides an outline of the preparation required for successful coating and identifies recommended coating systems for a variety of substrates as well as how to effectively solve surface challenges.
Note: While every effort is made to detail accurate and effective systems, specific project conditions are unknown and can be highly variable. This guide is therefore limited and outlines generally applicable principles. It is not a specification.
While Harris/ B-H Paints do supply specialist High Performance Coatings (HPCs) these fall outside the scope of this guide. HPCs are a class of technically advanced protective coatings designed to give superior levels of impact, abrasion, and corrosion protection designed for aggressive environments including high traffic areas and in commercial and industrial applications.
