Best way to paint aluminum?

I want to paint my cars rims and grill metallic pink. But supposedly paint doesn't stick well to aluminum. What can I do to make it stick better and not chip?

Answer:

make sure the aluminum is ruffed up with at least 800 grit sand paper after that clean well and make sure is is dry after you clean after that use a product called adhesion promoter it will help the paint stick to the wheel hope this helps
The best way is to have the pieces powder coated. Its a little expensive but the color and luster are outstanding and will last forever.
Rustoleum. Read the directions.
