[Yaesu] cabinet painting

[Glen Zook]

You need a primer that is made for aluminum. 
"Regular" gray primer won't work!  It works fine on
steel but not really on aluminum.

Hi,   Im starting to get frustrated painting an
aluminum radio cabinet. 
 
Here's the problem.   I sanded the old paint surface
down...  I primed it, light grey primer....  Then I
paint it with Tremclad semi-gloss paint.  _The primer
went on great, a perfect paint job._ Every time I try
painting on the final colour, it goes fish-eyed 
(bubbles on the surface of the metal)  I later sanded
the surface, prime then paint..prime goes on
perfect...same thing.
