How Do I Paint Interior Aluminium?

Aluminium is tricky to paint due to adhesion but if correct preparation is undertaken a solid and durable paint film can be achieved 

• Wash down with Tikkurila roof cleaning agent, ensure all areas of white rust (oxidation) are removed, along with grease and contamination. To remove white oxidation a fine grade non-metallic sandpaper can be used 
• All surfaces must be dry. The temperature of the ambient air, surface, or paint should not fall below + 5 ºC during application or drying.
• If previously painted, remove any loose and flaking coatings and feather off any edges.

To prime use 1 coat of either Rostex Super Akva Metal Primer, Otex Akva or Temprime EE

For the topcoat, use 2 coats of Everal Aqua, Helmi, Akvitop DS25 or Luja
