Jeff,

If it's straight to aluminum I'd opt for some kind of commercial adhesive that you pour or brush on. Check out one of the big home centers and see what they use for thier indoor / outdoor carpeting. I've done it once but had marine grade plywood to attache the carpet to. Not sure the 3M spray adhesive would last very long or provide a good bond on an irregular surface.

Let us know how the "wall to wall shag" turned out!
