How good does vinyl ester resin 'stick' to metal? Specifically aluminum and sum galvanized. What kind of prep is needed? It seems like this stuff sticks really well to anything you dont want it to

it will stick to metal but the metal will rust and it will denominate..over the years i was going to try priming over the 36 grit grinder marks and then try it bey never got to it..if your in a cols environment make sure no water gets behind it or it will freeze and crack off..
