Mine has bubbled too, I will be using primer, followed by a black paint with a semi-sheen, OR matt, then polish.

Im pretty sure its alloy.

If its alloy , what primer should be used 

[symes]

doing mine with 2pack paint that was left from a tailgate I did last summer

[symes]

use etch primer on alloy frame-remove old paint first though-could react.

Red Oxide is my favourite, good enough for the Forth bridge.

[symes]

yes thats good but each to their own mate

  I used an aerosol of black Smoothrite (Hammerite with a smooth finish) one. A good rub down with fine wire wool first and then a good cleaning off was the only preparation needed. With Hammerite or Smoothrite you do not need a primer, they are self priming.
Hammerite or Smoothrite both need a special thinners and nothing else will do.
Best of all....Hammerite or Smoothrite will NOT react if put on top of any other paint type.
The shine is fantastic too!

You've got the job

[SIR Philbutt]

Used brush on hammertite in the end as I had some - 3 coates though

See the result - I'm happy with it anyway

Nice one .. when would you like to do mine ??

Nice one .. when would you like to do mine ??   

Wore my thumb down rubbing all the loose paint off, over 50% came off, then another hour (with glove on) getting rid of the "lumpy" oxidation.

Will take at least a month for my thumb to heal. 

[Carfix]

The result looks very impressive. 

I am now thinking of doing mine.

[albitz]

Me too.

I had this lesson last year.. and not only one, many of them were bleeding when I realized I need gloves    now I'm preparing summer wheels and taking the whole paint.. but with gloves
