I decided to paint the wall piece with a red oxide primer. Then, after roughing up the surface with really coarse steel wool, I applied a final coat of clear, satin-finish enamel. As I said in a previous post, this is a test piece and I used really thin-gauge aluminum, but I feel that it is a success and a good starting point for a larger piece with heavier metal. This piece, titled "Red Wall", is 12" high by 38" long and weighs just over 3 lbs. – very light, but very rigid as well.
