Hi Liz,
You can paint it but for lasting results you'll want a paint specifically for metal and you will need to make sure to do all of the preparation described in this article. If you skip steps, it will affect the outcome. I hope this helps you. Wishing you the best.

It is paintable. Try power washing first. That may improve it a lot.
Yes it is paintable. We painted our aluminium siding over 12 years ago and it still looks good. We washed it well first. Then we used Behr paint from HomeDepot that was made for metal and stone. It has held up too good. Now we want to change the color. LOL
Wipe the aluminum down with white vinegar then use Clark and Kensington paint. I would put 2 coats on.
You can paint it, it's not hard. Just give it a really good cleaning first!
