if you wish to paint metal awning, you need to specify your need first.......
aesthetic? long lasting? free from mould? cheap? heat reduction? etc.....

then only can choose which paint to suite your need

hmm, i want to paint it to look new and long lasting.
and i hope it is easy to diy paint too.

most important is priming.........

but your foor is directly exposed to sunlight, UV, rain and wind.... harsh environment...

IF you have budget, you can try PolyUerethane paint.... the best of all... can last up to 20++ years.... suitable for all surfaces.. the only drawback is that there`re not much colour....

Nippon, PAR & Dulux have it...

P/S not all chinaman dealer know the existance of this paint...

Oo.. so, TS was asking about metal awning.. I though he's using the polycarbonat one.. It should be easy to find that kind of paint but to pick a good paint, .... some forumers already give u their suggestions ....

ya thanks thanks for so much feedback.
