[DeTomaso] non pantera content home improvement question

[boyd casey]

There are wooden 4x4's between louvred window units (like the louvers on a
storm door. The wood was painted (several times but now is chipping and
flaking. I power washed it and lots of the paint chipped off and peeled
away. The contractor is going to cover the wood with aluminum siding trim.
using a brake to bend the aluminum to wrap the wood. I think the wood should
be painted before its wrapped. The contractor says it's not necessary.
 Opinions?
