Painting Aluminum Hoods on Reel Seats?

I have done a ton of painting blanks, but I am curious as to painting the aluminum hoods on reel seats. Would this be the same process as painting a blank? Has anyone done this with success since this component is in more close contact with hands and possibly rubbing off in the long run? What to use to paint it if I wanted to test the waters on it? Thanks in advance!

If the aluminum is anodized you will have to polish it off. There is an aluminum primer probably available at the automotive
spray paint section at a good parts store. The primer is olive green in color. Hope this helps.

easy-off oven cleaner will remove the anodize, I would use powder coat, They have those little one's in lure making catalogs. Just a thought. Jaa

The oven cleaner is something I never thought of. I am familiar with that dip powder coat for lures and jigs as I have used them before but never thought about applying it to rod components. Thanks Jay!
