want to repaint it and want to select some primer that would stick to
aluminum. Would you have any recommendations. The lathe would
generally live a relatively sheltered life. Thanks

Check with an autobody supply. There are also conversion coatings
that leave an aluminum surface prepped for paint. Might not be
available in small quantities. Really, if it's not going to be
exposed to weather, any decent spray can stuff will stick well enough.
