Painting aluminum soffit can be a difficult project, but there are a few steps that you can take to help you through.Here are some steps to follow to guide you through your next project.tep 1 - Clean the Area. The most important thing to do before you begin the painting process is to clean off the aluminum soffit. If you begin with a dirty surface, the paint won't look as great or last as long. You can use a cleaner and a rag and rinse with water.
Starting with the soffit, nail lengths of J-channel against the inner edge of the fascia board. This channel conceals the cut edges of the soffit lengths as they meet the fascia. All siding and soffit pieces have nail slots. Nail at the slot centers to allow for expansion and hold the heads out 1/32 to 1/16 in. Don't nail anything tight. If your home has a box soffit or a hip roof, nail a second band of J-channel along the soffit edge as it meets the house. If your home does not have a boxed soffit return, but has soffit plywood nailed to the bottoms of the ceiling joists, you may be able to omit the inner channel.
