^^^ what he said. A good epoxy or etch primer on the aluminum and Imron. Last I checked PPG is the OEM supplier for Merc, they have a nice system too. Call around to some body shop jobbers. If your looking to touch up the skegs just buy the Merc aerosol can.

I cleaned up the corrosion, primed with a zinc chromate primer, then used the merc rattle can. Holds up fairly well.
