For painting plastics and aluminum I use Epoxy polymide paint. It's a 2 part but is tough as nails. I painted my chrome bumper on my 78' GMC Diablo and ran into a guy when the master cylinder failed on top of an overpass and I dented his bumper and it left chrome flakes om my paint. The paint was unharmed. I haven't tried the etching primer but it's probably cheaper than the epoxy. The epoxy is the only thing that I have been able to get to stay on aluminum due to the flex and the expansion and contraction of aluminum.
