Paint won't stick

[RonJ]

Does anyone know where I can find a primer that will stick to the aluminum moldings that go around the front and rear windows. I tried SEM self etching primer for aluminum and every thing else I've tried doesn't work. Help please.

I sanded mine with 320 grit sandpaper and then primered and painted with regular automotive paint.
Did you clean and prep them properly with a wax and grease remover, or at least wipe them down good with lacquer thinner beforehand???

I use a wire wheel brush and clean all the old paint off, then primer and paint. No problems.

If the paint is coming off, then you need to change your preparation.

Where were you back in 1984 , that you didn't tell the Ford factory that?

I was available, they didn't call.
