I sanded, used a spray-can aluminum primer, then applied 1-part Petit EasyPoxy white enamel. The next season, I did the mast to match. In both cases, I removed all fittings prior to painting. It helped to mount the spars (end caps off) on spindles on the work bench (boom) and yard trees (mast). Otherwise, yes, you can get some drip and sag on the low side.
