A few parts of the lathe that I am cleaning up now, are aluminum. I
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

Zinc Cromate is a long standing primer. Is available in spray cans. If Home
Depot, does not carry, most marine stores do.
