Default Painting Anodized Aluminium

There is an aluminium extrusion that I want to use for an LED strip

any knocks or wear.

What preparation would I have to do to allow it to take Vinyl Matt paint?

oxide layer - anodising - takes pain pretty well, but you probably want
to use something like a car spray undercoat on it first.
Or even an 'acid etch' primer
