I have a screen room with aluminum framework. One piece of the aluminum has

prime/prep the metal before I spray it with bronze-colored paint?

Thanks,

Jasco *Prime & Prep * the best stuff for priming metal for paint;
rusted or un-rusted steel, glavanized steel and aluminum

I searched for metal prep compound summer 2006 & after extensive
research found this stuff

Phosphoric Prep & Etch

Klean-Strip®
Phosphoric Prep & Etch does the job of three products:
1) Removes rust from iron and steel surfaces,
2) treats metal surfaces, including galvanized and aluminum, to allow
better paint adhesion,
3) etches concrete to allow paint or stains to penetrate and adhere.

To my recollection, it is hydrofluricacid which etches glass. But your
mileage may vary.
