Hi Bruce.... with 6061-t6 aluminum you shouldn't need any primer... it is an inherently corrosion resistant alloy.... on your rv9 you use it because the aluminum is 2024-t3... it has nickel in it & thus will corrode over time if not protected...all that said it doesn't hurt anything to prime the parts,(other than the extra weight) the grey primer you have is likely a self etching primer... it does work well but takes longer to dry & I've found etches less into the metal than does the zinc chromate.....just my .02$... I didn;t use any. Guy.
