I have metal (presumably aluminum) drip edge along the perimeter of my
roof and will be priming and painting the fascia and drip edge
tomorrow. The drip edge is currently painted drak brown and the new
color is off-white. The house has already been pressure washed.

Do I need to sand the drip edge or rub it with steel wool prior to
priming/painting, or will the primer (Sherwin Williams A100) stick
well to the existing paint?

Thanks.

10 years ago I painted my white aluminum gutters (they had black streaks
from the black asphalt roof) with latex paint with no preparation except
a mild cleaning of the gutter. They are still in good shape with no
chipping or flaking, or streaks. I suspect that the drip edges would be
no different.
