Painting Siding

MY house is old and has this sh**ty metal (aluminum)siding. It's the big stuff (6 inch wide stuff). It's dirty, so it would need to be pressure washed. But can you paint old aluminum siding?

You sure can. My parents have a 70's ranch with that siding.It's been painted a bunch of times.

Sprayed is best...brushed or rolled aluminum siding looks like cr@p, IMHO.

But I just paint the stuff...so my opinion's worth what you paid for it.
