T&T: ABC's of repainting aluminum?

[rudy sechez]

The proceedure that I have used with professional looking success is to sand to bare metal or to solid paint, paint with a primer and then top coat with the one-part, epoxy appliance spray paint sold in most do-it yourself stores.  When the entire piece is painted, it looks like factory new and holds up just as well.

a little chalky. There is paint flaking off where I can see aluminum 
underneath... my guess is that they've been repainted before. I have no idea 
what to do, use, etc. Do I need to remove all the current paint? Methods? 
Primers and paint to repaint with? I want to DIY, so something brush applied 
or that can be sprayed without special equipment would be nice. Basic white 
for color. TIA.
