Can I repaint aluminum siding?
The paint on my aluminum siding has peeled off in spots on my garage. I would like to have it repainted but don't know how to do it. The side facing the summer sun is the worst. There is about 2 feet of snow around it right now so can't really send a picture.

Yes you can paint it
there is paint especially designed for aluminum
Last year a painter gave me a quote for doing my AL siding. First he would powerwash all, then days to dry then paint. Good luck.
Duration paint from sherwin Williams. But check with them for sure. We have done ours a couple times
You definitely need to use a paint designed specifically for aluminum but should also use a primer. Talk to your paint expert at the store, she/he will guide you on this but be sure to get the UVA protection bks u face the son. My recommendation, however comes with using a paint sprayer. You can buy these as little as $15. I bought a $65 version and I love it for so many projects. After prepping (cleaning, scraping, sanding, cleaning, drying) my son painted our 3-car garage doors in less than an hour. It gets in nooks and nannies very easily. No brush strokes!
