I have those white aluminum gutters but they have become quite dirty.. they
dont clean up very well. Am I better off just to paint over them?

My painter convinced me to do that about 6 years ago. It worked very
well, at least so far. I was worried that it might peel, but it hasn't
at all. So, I guess if you do it right, it works!

Try cleaning with mineral spirits. Though, white aluminum gutters
often hold stains. If you paint, latex is self-priming on the gutters,
just needs a good cleaning first, which you'll have already done if
you try cleaning with mineral spirits :-).

I'd give one more try with a strong cleaner first. If that does not work,
you can paint them and yes, it will be a durable as any house paint and
eventually have to be re-done.

Yes, powerwash them and then paint. About 10 years ago, I did this to mine
and I need to do this again. I can't remember the paint I used. But it stood
up well. I used a "whiz" roller to put the paint and it was quick, simple
and fast using an extension handle on the roller, I did it all from the
ground, no ladders.
