Painting an aluminum TT

I am currently in the process of restoring a new to me TT. It is an aluminum trailer that I am looking to paint. Is it possible to paint aluminum or do I need to take it to a body shop?
  • To get paint to stick to aluminum, you really need to use an etching primer first.
  • If it is an airstream I'd have it polished out to a shine wouldn't cost any more then a paint job. Sure you can paint aluminum they do it to planes all the time. Check on you tube painting aluminum
