The Best Paint Colors For Aluminum Siding

Aluminum siding is an excellent siding material, and you can enhance it further with a new paint job. Aluminum siding needs to be updated occasionally to prevent chalking. Chalking happens when the paint on aluminum siding begins to oxidize, which appears as a chalky texture on the siding. 

If your aluminum siding needs an update, here are some of our favorite colors to choose from. Aluminum is a versatile siding, and really any color looks good on it with proper spray application. That’s why it’s best to let a professional painter do the work for you.

CAN YOU PAINT ALUMINUM SIDING?

Many clients think you can’t paint aluminum siding, but that’s just not true. In fact, aluminum siding is one of the best materials to paint because it doesn’t flex like wood or vinyl. That means the paint can last for a long time on aluminum siding before it needs replaced. 

THE BEST PAINT COLORS FOR ALUMINUM SIDING

SW 7068 GRIZZLY GRAY
