Zinc chromate, Etching paint...

Hi.. i got some small areas on the Mariner which are now bare aluminium and need touching up.... quicksilver does the phantom black touch up for the sum of £15 (11ml) and the undercoat in grey.... Any idea what the cheapest way is to touch this up? Use etching or zinc chromate? Its just that paying £30 to touch up a small area is ludicrous and can better be spend in my local pub :-)

Hi Nugent....So is the zinc chromate a 2 part primer? Ps... who's Addy ? :-)... also assume the black (phantom) paint is best to buy from quicksilver?
