Painting metal siding

Question

Is it okay to paint the metal siding of a house? Will it matter what type of metal is used and if so, which ones are okay to paint and which ones aren’t or might not be? How should I go about painting metal siding? Like, what sort of paint should I use and are there any ways I should treat it differently to other paint jobs? What steps should the work involve?

Paul · Answer

make sure you have scrapped and sanded off the flaking paint .then paint with ronseal metal paint .

Damian · Answer

Principally, the first actual step of painting metal siding is applying the primer, and in this, you have two choices, whether a paint sprayer or a paint roller with extension. The regular metal paint primer works better with aluminum. However, for steel, you should consider a latex-bonding primer instead.

Hi Jenny has it been painted before? if so is the old paint flaking, if not is it rusty?

Adrian · Answer

To paint or repaint steel, run a wire brush over any areas where rust may be or has developed.
Make sure the metal is clean and dry. Remove any dirt, grease or stains.
Get a speciality primer from your local paint store. It will state on the can that it is rust-inhibitive. Applying two coats, with drying time in between, will create an extra strong protective layer.
Apply your paint. It’s suggested to use 100% acrylic latex or oil-based paint.

Yes it’s easy to repaint as long as it’s free from old flakey paint and prepped correctly before painting

Paul · Answer

It is always better to go through  this process and you will only have to refresh in a couple of years. 
Take off excess paint and smooth down flakings.
Clean with solution and leave to dry.
Using a metal under coat and mini roller paint on and leave to dry then coat again. Once done use topcoat and finish.
 Must prep area around siding before this process of work.
