Painting is not necessary to protect these products.  However, should a color be desired that is not already offered, these materials may be painted by following these guidelines. Aluminum-clad products cannot be painted. Note: Andersen does not warrant the adhesion or performance of paint over vinyl or other factory-coated surfaces.
