Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint (verified owner) –
Itâs the primer—use the PBE self-etch primer. After that you can topcoat with any paint of your choice. The HiTech, MRO, and Big Rig brands are great if you want a color. If you want a metallic silver, EN-71 dull aluminum would be a good option.

Short of sandblasting, how clean does the surface need to be? Casting is to rough to smooth out so I guess Iâll paint it.

Answer

Clean the surface and remove all dirt, debris, and/or grease. Lightly sand the surface with fine grit sandpaper. It’s important to create a rough texture for better adhesion.
