    Back when airplanes were made of aluminum vice composites we prepped the
    aluminum and coated it with chromic acid, followed by a coat of zinc
    chromate primer and then nitrocellulose or acrylic lacquer. I would expect
    that a good prep and chromic acid followed by a good epoxy primer and the
    finish of choice would give good results. If you use a two part urethane
    coating buy the best respirator you can afford and lots of organic vapor
    filter cartridges. And remember respirators need to be properly fitted to
    provide protection. And that iisocyanates kill people.
