Sean:  You will need to do some of cleaning first. Those cans have a sprayed liner so that the beverage will not oxidize their way out the side of the can.  A quick rub down with some 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper roughens it enough so that I get good paint adhesion. I don’t do it that often as I need band-aides by the case when working with cans.

 Tips on painting Soda/ Bear can siding!

I was thinking on using Rustolium  Red primer first , then follow up with a red top coat.

Any one have any siding they have done this to?

Thanks

Sean
