I have used Rust Oleum for lots of household and hobby projects, but when I am painting my larger hobby-car I use PPG metal etching, about 22 bucks a spray can, I don't mind it because its such a good primer, sprays nice and when it drys it sticks.

I believe that for priming aluminium one needs to use some sort of etch primer so that it will not start peeling off in the future.
