Painting a fifth wheel

Last fall some wanna be race driver ran me off the road while I had my camper in tow .I took out several mailboxes and bent up some of the siding on my camper..I have replaced the damaged metal with siding from a salvaged camper .It all fit back it place just right but the color is a few shades different than mine .I thought white was white..Anyway is it possible to paint aluminum ??Do you paint it like you would a regular vehicle.or is the something that i have to do so the paint will (stick) properly to the aluminum.

Make sure all panels are sealed real good and if your putting paint on a painted panel, just put paint on paint

I would call a paint shop to be sure on the painting. They would do a much better job and have the paint match you would desire.

Paint PREP will be the same. Don't matter if it's steel, aluminum, fiberglass or bondo.
