WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PAINT ALUMINUM AWNINGS.?
Thank you for your response. The awnings have the original finish which I believe was applied at the factory. I have heard that awning companies can restore these finishes. I assume this is through painting? The awnings themselves are composed of individual slats of aluminum painted in two colors red and a beige. One person said they disassembled them and painted. Since I have little experience with paint sprayers I thought it would be good to use spray cans of paint. There is no paint to chip and I am a little worried about sanding them. What is the best spray primer for aluminum?

scrape and sand off any paint already on that is peeling. Scuff any shiny paint with sandpaper. Cover any areas near the awnings that would be hit by the spray or the paint brush when you apply the paint. Use an oil based enamel or a latex paint that is rated for aluminum. Consider a gloss paint finish to discourage the accumulation of dirt and dust and allow for an easy clean up with some water pressure and mild soap, especially if there are trees overhead.
