In search of help regarding peeling paint Once I have knocked off the loose paint how can I apply new paint to this area?

I have searched through and cannot find how to deal with this issue. Do I need to spray and catching aluminum primer? And then can I paint with a roller and house paint?

Painting bare aluminum generally requires a self-etching primer to bite into the surface. Here are a couple of products. Whichever you use, surface prep is important. Read the label before pulling the trigger.

If unsure, call Rustoleum or SEM Tech Support for more information.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Will do!

Sherwin William’s Adhesion Primer seems to stick to just about anything as well.

Thank you!

I used an etching primer from an auto paint store in a rattle can then sprayed latex in my Silver Streak. 7 years on and still looking good.

for an area that size, a rattle can from an auto parts store will suffice. Clean the area off well and then wipe down with isopropyl alcohol or lacquer thinner before applying the primer.
After the etching primer you can use just about any paint you want.
I caution you though. the fumes from this type of paint are a bit noxious. ventilate very well or use a mask (ask me how I know)
