Thanks for the help in advance.

The need for a base coat depends on what you're coating. Trans/Candy colors look best over chrome or a polished surface. Other surfaces such as steel, cast iron, blasted surfaces, etc..........a base coat of something along the lines of x-treme chrome or a silver are in order. You should be fine over that polished aluminum, just to sure to clean real well to remove all polishing compounds.
