Paint is peeling and a few normal chips. Any recommendations for prime,paint. Prop is alum. Should all old material be removed?

Re: Recondition alum prop

If it is just paint and not a thick plastic coating like Mercury has I would just strip it to clean aluminum. Rust-oleum has a self etching green primer that has worked well for me recently. I find that enamels hold up much better than laquer based paints although they take a much more time before you can use them.
