    It looks very interesting.  Looks like a UK company, if I am not
wrong.  Might be difficult to get on this side of the pond :^(

    I use spray enamel.  The panel I just did I used Orchird Supply and
Hardware spray paint (real cheap!).  The biggest problem with making
paint to aluminum is to make sure that the aluminum is CLEAN.  And keep
your cotton picking fingers off the surface you are going to paint.  I
also sand the surface with 180 grit wet-dry paper, and then with 400
grit wet-dry.  If I have some alcohol, I sometimes clean the surface
just before painting.  But it must be dry before you spray.
