We have been painting mill finish aluminum flashings for one large repeat customer, and I can tell you that it doesn't look great. I strongly question the long-term efficacy of this practice. But the customer is always right... so we do it despite our protests. I would refuse for a one-off job. I only do it because we have a contract for hundreds of homes and my bargaining position is not good.
How much rail is really exposed anyway? We use Unirac's pro style end clamps the rails don't really stick out much anyway. Or use BoB panes with black rails and clamps.
