Painting Aluminum Siding

RE: Painting Aluminum Siding By jerryno1 (Guest Post) Painted our aluminum siding two times now,(house is 36 yrs old) looks grt. Never a single crack or peal. Did clean, myself, with a bleach spray,(one cup to two gal of water) two weeks, before painting. Used "Sears Weather Beater latex" first time & "Glidden Dulux Latex" this last time. I feel "Glliden" is best of the two due to goes on much easier,looks GREAT.

About 5 yr ago we painted it ourselves.. using a paint spayer and rollers.. It came out beautifully. Its lustrous just like I wanted for the shady area where I live.. Its the color of sunshine.. I highly reommend painting it.. The paint was Lowe's best paint... American Traditions. I used the advice of The Paint Doctor at Lowes. (Its free..smile) The paint cost me $300...

We got a quote for it to be painted and it was about $5,000. That included cleaning, priming, and painting. It did not include paint. So, we ended up opting to replace the siding with new seamless steel siding. Its looks wonderful now!! The steel has a life time warranty, along with a transferable lifetime warranty, if we sold the house 20 years from now even! The cost was about $11,000 to do the steel siding. Its Maintenance free for life pretty much! Good Luck!!

We used a power sprayer to clean it first and bought a good exterior latex paint from Sears. One coat is all it took. It was originally dark brown and we painted it beige.We recently had it replaced with vinyl siding because it had begun to fade and needed repainting.

They say it will not stay on.. I just searched this and from what i am reading not a good thing to do. We use bleach and water spray on let set a few then spray off... but i might try the product they are talking about next time.
