Best spray paint for corroded aluminium ?

[happyolly]

My shower door is a right state. It's made from some some nasty alloy that corrodes. I want to try to get a few more years out of it though. Can anyone recommend a suitable silver paint that would keep further corrosion at bay and how best to prep before hand please.

I would recommend that you contact Owatrol and ask if their Owatrol oil will work as a base coat. It is great for rusty ferrous materials, but I am not so sure about aluminium.

I would use an acid etch primer, car body filler to level the surface then more acid etch primer followed by car wheel paint and a clear lacquer.

Ok...I got fed up with the door being off the shower. Sprayed with halfords chrome enamel. The colour match is perfect. Not sure if it needs to be lacquered. Hope not as I haven't got any and it's going back together tomorrow
