when you think about it, you are painting paint not aluminum (mostly),

why not just paint it a lighter color, prep the existing paint and give it a
go with a durable marine paint.

I have an aluminum Jon boat painted with the traditional Olive Green.
The painted surfaces get extremely hot to the touch in the hot,
afternoon sunlight. Is there a paint available for metal surfaces that
stays cool to the touch in direct sunlight? Thanks, Mike Howard
