Can I Repaint Windows?
Hey guys,
I'm under contract for a house that doesn't have room in the budget for new white windows (normally we do new windows all around).
The current windows @ the home are silver aluminum. Is it possible to paint these white? If so, how? How does it look afterwards?
Thanks!

no need for googling, i know exactly what you are talking about. i am in the process of closing on a house that has the alum windows and the paint is flaking off on each window. looks terrible. you can paint them, but the prep works is important. or else you will be painting a few times per year.
i am replacing mine (10 windows). would be around $3500 or so.
