How to paint Aluminium Window Frames

Hi all



Please see pictures of my 80s brown aluminium windows that I want to paint white.

What do you think of the following





Rough it up with a scourer pad. Sanding paper not needed if surface still intact.

Clean up the frame with Thinners to remove reside and dust

Mask up the frame including over any rubber, felt etc that you dont want paint on

Etch Primer

then

Paint in multiple light coats with a thick final coat so the end result looks like plastic.



Also this panel below is damaged

Can I use builders bog to fill this section? the white stuff is foam.
