Painting a Patroit rack.

Would you guys paint a alluminium finish Patriot. I have just restored the rack to nearly new condition and would like to paint it black but can't make up my mind if I should.Will the paint hold up if the correct primers are used. Puma 110 SW

Hammerite do paint for ally, do it with that, nice and easy to touch in WHEN it does chip.

Easy and cheap.

Ally can be painted with most paints as long as you use etch primer.I just don't know if it will start flacking or chipping with use.I would like it black but black with shiney ally showing through will look sh________t! Puma 110 SW
