I will be using self etching primer on the bare spots of my previously painted aluminum boat. Can I use regular RustOleum primer over the self etching primer after it dries? Is RustOleum Aluminum primer the same as self etching primer?

Thanks for all your help!

Nope it's not the same. Use the SE primer and then use the RO Bare Metal Primer - 2 Coats. Check the last link in my signature below.
