According to the Painting Instructions for Roamer Yachts, revised 1-1-63 (that I happened to get when I bought my boat), the boats were painted at the factory with Glidden products. The 5 page document does not say you cannot use copper anti-fouling paints, but it says that you must "insulate steel and aluminum from copper bearing anti-fouling paint." Continuing, "NEVER APPLY ANTI-FOULING PAINT OVER BARE STEEL OR ALUMINUM."
Like you, I am also currently investigating the paint selections. I work in an industry where we paint a lot of aluminum (aviation) and am working with one of our paint supplier's marine division to get the best product selection. I cannot give you more details today, but in the coming weeks I can pass more on.
I hope this helps!
