Is that OK to go straight onto the bare metal?  Aluminium alloys normally require a special primer I thought, like Hammerite's water based special metals primer.  If not the paint looks good for a year then starts coming off.

Any decent etch primer would do for alloy.

Or leave them bare for a few weeks so it oxidises

any metal surface primer will do the job.. and its a must.. and if you want it to be stronger, sand the primed surface also (800,1200,1500)

I would always use an etch on alloy (no point on steel unless you mix your own) as it bonds so much better

Agreed, aluminium/aluminium alloy needs an etch primer for good paint adhesion ;)
