It’s not aluminium, it’s a galvanised finish covering mild steel, it can be painted.
But will need a lot of preparation before hand

pop doen to your local agricultural merchants and purchase some 'cold galv' '' spray paint..Its basically spray paint containing galvanising zinc... Its not super cheap but other than a quick rub down of rusted areas then a wipe over with meths to remove any grease its dead may and gives a great finish. Just done some rusty galvanised bike racks and was pleased with the overall results and better than spraying with Halfords silver spray paint or hammerite.

Most paints won't adhere very well to zinc. Surface cleaning and speciality primer is essential for a long term quality job.
