2 words - "surface preparation"
When I painted my aluminum siding, I was told there was no such thing as "aluminum paint".
So I used latex (Sears Weatherbeater?) - but I first "prepared" the surface by washing it with real TSP [mid 70's]. It's still on there.

Subject: [DIY] Painting al sidingI planted a tree too close to the house and when it grew up it scrapped all
the paint off the aluminum siding.
The tree has been removed but the aluminum looked pretty bad so I painted it
last year.
Now that paint does not look so good. It is flaking and spotty and I will
have to paint it again or give up and go vinyl.
Is there a trick to getting good paint on the aluminum?
Thanks.
