We have 6 white leansteers that badly need to be repainted..
Any ideas would be great...
I stripped off all the old paint with a wire wheel.

Coated it with vinegar and let it set. (This is supposed to help the primer adhere to the aluminum.)

Scrubed it down and let it dry.

I primed and sanded with automotive primer.

Then spray painted with Krylon Flourescent green (3 coats)

Applied the decals.

Applied 3 coats of clear coat.

I am very happy with the results.
