Q:

Our bome has plain aluminum windows that

ave still in great shape, can we

paint these White? or Brown?

A:

@ Mill finish aluminum windows and doors

have lost their appeal over the years especially since white and brown colours were introduced, however, you can change the colour. First give che doors and/or windows a rubbing down using acetone thinner and (0000) stcel wool or super fine steel wool, Caution: protect hands with leather gloves. This will remove the oxidation on the surface of the mill finish aluminum and improve the pitted surface making shiny again. Protect the window and door sills with drop sheets as you don’t want to damage any painted or vinyl surfaces with the acetone thinner. Now wash with a trisodium phosphate wash (1 tablespoon in 1 quart of warm water). Rinse well and allow tc dry. Please use caution - wear protective cye and hand gear. You are now ready to apply a good quality exterior acrylic latex paint tinted to match the brown or white of your choice. Use a nylon or polyester brush to apply the paint. , Some paint companies are now making an exterior acrylic latex melamine paint which works just great.
