or at least I think its oxidation. the old paint has faded .... and in many spots it has worn down to white....the texture is slightly chalky and rough.
I got some cheapo rustoleum semi- high gloss protective enamel beige color that im putting on as the first coat and rustoleum smooth protective enamel lighter color on top. both are for interior/exterior.
it seems to be going on fairly evenly although it soaks up the first coat pretty fast.
I know I'm not doing this the ideal way, but is it terribly wrong? this is an older home and im not up for spending a lot on paint unless its necessary
Oxidation on aluminum siding ...how to paint
Moderators: Greg, Mark, mhrAJ333, JD
90% of a good paint job is proper preparation. Make sure the surface is clean before painting, follow what ever rustoleum recommends. It's good paint but "different" to work with.

right , i washed it really well. i've painted over dust before and its not pretty
I read somewhere that if its really oxidized you should allow it to dry 3 days before painting.
read in several "how to"'s that you should never paint aluminum without a primer..... &
