TPO is an option for the roof but I am working on what to do for the aluminum siding right now.
Wraps are interesting....I saw them used on Fast and Loud. Would they protect the aluminum against oxidation? How would they handle the fishscaling of panels that we did? Would they have to cut the wrap every 16 inches on the verticals to match our panel sizes? Sounds like a lot of work and $$$, but maybe cheaper than painting.
I wouldn't mind painting it ourselves because then we don't have to move it out of the garage work area right now (need to get it painted before the rain sets in for the fall/winter). I have very little experience with spray gun painting...but then again I had never MIG welded and that turned out quite well IMO. The direct to metal self etching primer has some nasty stuff in it though...and we don't have positive pressure suits or anything....
