How to paint outdoor aluminium window frames?

Hi, I have powder coated aluminium window / door frames and I’m looking to paint them a different colour.

I have been reading a lot online and can’t work out what the best combination is. 
1: Do I brush it with an enamel paint
2: Spray it with a pressure pack can ( does the pressure pack paint last well ?)

3: Do I spray it with an electric paint gun using either two pack paint or enamel paint?

any help would be great!

cheers

Hi @willbur,

 

Welcome to the Workshop community.

 

This is a very popular topic at the moment. I would encourage you to please read this discussion - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Outdoor/How-do-I-know-what-paint-to-paint-3-Aluminium-Doors-in-gloss/...

 

It contains video for you to follow as well as recommendations from @MitchellMc on paint to use and how best to apply it. After taking a look, please don't hesitate to post any follow-up questions and I'm sure Mitchell and other community members would be more than happy to assist.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason
