J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment aging aluminum

So the shrink wrap came off today and the maintenance/upgrade slog has begun. My early spring projects includes rebuilding the boom. Aluminum corrosion has begun to be a bit noticeable especially on the boom ends, the out-haul blocks need to be replaced and I want to replace the out-haul cable with line. The boom itself seems in good shape but some corrosion on the removable ends has removed some anodization.

I have removed corrosion with a wire brush and cleaned up the boom ends but what should I do to paint/protect them from continued corrosion? Thinking aluminum etching primer and enamel before re-installation?

many spring projects to go but this is a start.
