If the set was previously painted you can clean it up and use most any alkyd or acrylic primer and enamel. If it is bare aluminum it needs to etched, primed with zinc chromate, or zinc oxide primer or whatever paint you apply will peel off. There are several other primers for bare aluminum available that will accept an enamel overcoat. Check with your hardware or paint supply store.
Use an exterior alkyd enamel over a suitable exterior alkyd primer. It will take a minimum of 2 coats, but it will hold up. If the color is dark, you can have the primer tinted. Hope this helps.
Use a copper coloured crackle paint suitable for outdoors. It will look lovely.
