Abstract

This invention relates to a method and compositions for coating aluminum in order to improve both corrosion resistance and paint adhesion. By using a coating composition consisting essentially of (a) polyacrylic acid or esters thereof and (b) at least one acid selected from the group consisting of H.sub.2 ZrF.sub.6, H.sub.2 TiF.sub.6, and H.sub.2 SiF.sub.6, the characteristics of the treated aluminum surfaces are improved, while process waste disposal problems associated with conventional chrome/phosphate coating are avoided.
