I have about 1 square foot of Aluminium plate to paint white. I know you are supposed to use a special primer, but I don't want to pay the £6 Is there any work around ?
It needs to be white and its to be outdoors, I have both water and oil based paint - which would be best?
I believe some of the primers are etching, so could I paint the plate first with some paving slab cleaner - that's an acid ?
