So I opted for a new one piece roof that I picked up from a Semi-Trailer repair shop. Can I leave it the bare aluminum? Or do I have to prime & paint it with the rest of the trailer? Just asking as I see some people leaving their trailers bare aluminum, and if I don't have to spend the time prepping, priming and painting, I'd rather not. Any real difference with heat in the summer, leaving it alone vs painting it white?
Thanks!

One way or another these tin cans get hot in direct sun. |

Thanks. For the time being I am going to leave the roof unpainted/ bare aluminum. If I think its an issue I can always add the paint later.
