Will primer/paint adhere to fully cured 3M 5200?

I am thinking not, but hoping so.

ONce fully cured, yes but... it is still somewhat flexible sooooo... if it flexes and the paint doesn't then... CRACK!!!!! I'd wipe it down with Acetone first.

Yeah mine normally lasts for a couple years, but like Wood said, it remains flexible....

Ok, I guess I have a little more hope now. I did see on 3M's website that it is sandable. At least when I sand the alum/5200 I will minimiize how much 5200 is exposed.

I also see it does come in tan color, which I would have ordered, if I'd known.
