A fresh coat of paint can make weathered aluminum siding dramatically more attractive. The job involves 3 basic steps:
- POWER-WASHING the siding and trim to remove chalking, mildew & dirt.
- PRIMING the surface.
- PAINTING the siding.
To do the job yourself, you’ll need a power washer (you can rent one), primer, paint, paint rollers, brushes & pans, drop cloths, and ladders.
Consult with pros at a paint store or home center for the best type of primer and paint to use; usually a flat or satin finish gives the siding a nice, even appearance. HAPPY PAINTING!
