Greg, Rustoleum enamel. the generic hardner like Bill said is sold right along the paint usually in a small pint can. All the directions are on the can. Usually with aluminum an etching primer should be used, zink chromate or something. Helps it bond. Just don't want you to have it start peeling in a few years. The Rustoleum comes in the standard, blue, green, yellow, red, white, black.
