Yes, BlackTop Aerosol applies directly to bare aluminum and forms a strong, durable bond without a separate primer.
Apply thin, covering coats. Aluminum is non-ferrous, and BlackTop Aerosol's acrylic lacquer resin bonds well to it as long as the surface is free of oils, oxidation film, and other contaminants first.
Clean the bare aluminum with KBS Klean, a water-based cleaner, rather than a solvent-based product, since solvent cleaners can leave a residue that affects adhesion. Rinse thoroughly and let the surface dry completely before spraying. Then apply BlackTop Aerosol in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat.
