[Collins] Hello all : it is my turn to paint a 51S1 cabinet , it is all aluminum all over in and out

[C E]

The first thing to do is get ALUMINUM SPECIFIC primer
for this unit. There are others who have used stuff
for ferrous/steel/iron based applications but I'm
telling yoy, they are wrong!!! 

Go to your local hardware/paint store and they will
set you straight.
