I went to auto parts store and they gave me this 2 part epoxy primer and they said it works with aluminum. It looks very nasty stuff
And here is the product home page:

The instructions say I have to use a reducer which I didn't buy. Will off the shelf thinner do the job?

Sorry to say, but you should have a chromate primer (zinc or strontium) or one that is a (MRP) magnesium rich primer. The MRP is harder to find, at least in the USA. PreKote and MRP are very good for corrosion resistance on 2024 (structural parts). It seems all military depots will carry some chromate primers or MRP.

Lots of aircraft painting jobs listed, so you might go talk to them and once you mention you are building your own plane (take pictures) hopefully you will find a friend who will help.
