Re: piants and primers

What paint you use doesn't matter so much as using an etching primer before hand, paint won't stick to aluminum without it, the primer is actually acid based and eats into the aluminum then your paint sticks to the primer.

You may consider just painting to the water line, then you don't have to worry about tearing up the paint on the bottom, a little masking tape and some newspaper and you are good.
