I have metal (presumably aluminum) drip edge along the perimeter of my

I doubt it's aluminum. More likely galvanized steel.


All the drip edge I've seen is baked enamel coated aluminum. But I'm in
NY, I don't know what they use elsewhere.


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?



Make sure there's no loose paint, run some steel wool over it and I'd think it
would be fine.
