What happens with working alum. with tools you used to work steel is that the steel dust gets into the alum. and causes a caustic reaction it will eventually corrode the alum and cause paint blissters. Found out the hard way ford had a bad problem with it on mustangs and expeditions was working at a dealership. The steel dust was settling on the hoods and decklids and they had to pay me lots of moneyto fix them. Made them buy me new da’s just to work on them.For the little grinding you do just make sure to clean the tools good before you start, and get it in primer asap. You should be fine.
