Ok here is the deal-I have several metal on metal mobile homes and just got done seal coating the roofs. Wondering what type of paint and what the best steps to take would be in painting the exteriors of these metal sided homes would be? Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Marc, depends how nice of a job and how much you want to spend. I just have someone pressure wash the home and put a coat or two of exterior paint on. Came out looking good. There's a picture of it on another thread. My handyman said to prime the bare metal if there was any but the new paint will bite to the old paint.

If you really wanted to put paint on it you could pressure wash it, prime it, then paint it.
