Re: paint window frames

Aluminum??? Good scuffing/sanding/prepping to desired level of finish***, light coating of Zinc Chromate Primer, good primer base, then topcoat with choice of color...
Have fun!

***By desired level of finish, I mean the more perfect top surface you want, the better your preparation has to be...the final top color coats are not only a reflection of the world around us, but also a reflection of the surface they are applied to...
