You could paint it a new color.
Rustoleum 2X spary paint for metal.
Hello,
Either Paint it or cover it with Contact, or use a sheet to cover the actual awning.
What does it look like now?
Please post a picture so that we can see what you are starting with.
Power wash it very well. Then paint a more modern color. Use paint made to paint metal.
Clean the awning well, let dry, and then spray with a good paint for aluminum. Usually white awnings look best either from the inside or outside.
You can bring your worn and tired aluminum awnings back to life with a splash of paint. If you choose to paint the awnings, you'll need to put together spray-painting gear. Using a brush or roller to paint your aluminum awning can be difficult due to its shape.
Rustoleum makes a product for aluminum that is very good.
I recently powerwashed my patio cover which is aluminum. I used Zep power wash cleaner. Looks brand new.
