Is it a really lovely bike?
The advantage of aluminium bikes (in my opinion) is that it doesn't matter if the frame paintwork gets chipped.
If the bike is exceptionally pretty, I can see that opinion might not sit well with you.
Personally, I wouldn't bother priming the chipped area, just dab top coat paint into the chip with a cocktail stick.
If the paint doesn't stick, because you didn't prime the metal, it will only come back off. In which case do it again. It will only take a few minutes to complete the task, so it doesn't matter if you need to repeat it, but I very much doubt you will need to do it again. Prove me wrong!
