7. UTE TRAYS Most people think it's not possible to paint custom aluminum UTE trays by own and you have to outsource them to a professional. Let's see how it is done How to Spray Paint Aluminum Trays? Clean the aluminum tray Before you get ready with your spray paint, it is essential to properly clean the tray. Similar to every other thing, trays are also prone to the accumulation of dust. And no one would want their newly painted custom aluminum UTE trays to show dissipated dust spots here and there. Take a bucket with warm water and add two spoonfuls of degreasing cleaner. Dip a clean rag to the solution and wipe down the tray from every side. Make sure to put in a little extra effort to get rid of any flaking layer of paint or rust. You can also use a wire brush to remove nasty spots. Once done, clean any remaining moisture using a clean, dry cloth.

8. Use a sandpaper You can never be entirely sure that every speck of dust has been removed from the aluminum trays. Hence, sanding the surface offers a better perspective. Afterward, start by vigorously rubbing the sandpaper on to the aluminum tray. Don't forget to clean the sides, corners, and crevices for a thorough cleaning. Similarly, it is also preferable to use two different textured grit paper for better results. Start with a coarse one and then proceed to one that has even finer grits. Spray a self-etching primer In case your spray paint doesn't come with a primer, a self-etching primer is considered best. Unlike other primers, they are specially curetted to latch onto the tray almost instantly. This offers a great bonding capacity for the upcoming paint job, making the paint stick nicely and uniformly. Start by initially putting a single thin coat of primer all over the tray. Let it dry for some time, and then carefully examine if there is any uniformity. Once examined, you can then proceed with putting a couple more thin coats of the primer on the tray. Finally, you will need to sand the tray again, using a fine-grit paper, followed by wiping with a clean rag .

9. Apply paint and sealer While choosing spray paint for getting the work done, make sure they are marked "exterior-grade." As custom aluminum UTE trays have to undergo various weather conditions, the paint needs to be of good quality. Similarly, if you want your trays to look flawless, getting a matte or satin finish spray paint is considered best. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for an efficient paint job and let them dry thoroughly. At the very least, you will need to coat them with two coats of enamel sealer. The sealer will act as a protectant for the paint, reducing chipping, scratching, or fading the colors.
