Painting new prepainted downspouts ? DTM paint?
Hello
I just got new gutters and downspouts installed prepainted Aluminum 30 White. I am painting the house and wanted to paint the downspouts the color of the home. I will leave the gutters white. How should I paint the downspouts? Do I need to prime them? Or just use the regular house paint or DTM Direct to Metal paint such as Kelly Moore 5725 DTM? Thanks |

They are likely a hard oil finish I would go ask at a real paint store you might want a primer but a good roughening would be smart. Sherwin Williams has a latex meant to bond to even dirt that you might consider called maybe Duration. Is Kelly, Bens brother. Ben Moore is known quality. |
