Here you go:
Aluminium primer spray paint
Then use any automotive paint on top followed by some laquer

Use a good Self etching primer on bare alloy first, this will eat into the alloy, then use a 2k primer which will grip to the etch. Flat with 400's 800's 1200's and then paint with whatever your painting it with.
Jobs a goodun. Unless you dont have access to a compressor and paint gun.
