Painting it makes it a maintenance project. You sure you can't live with the color?
That depends on how much maintenance. If it needs repainting only as often as the wooden siding on the house, or just slightly worse, that would be OK. OTOH, if the paint is going to peel off and need repainting every year or three, that would not be appealing.Painting it makes it a maintenance project. You sure you can't live with the color?

Any suggestions on what sort of primer and paint to use?
Luckily, I'm a terrible pack-rat, and I just found three yard-long scraps of the roofing leftover from the original installation. I was hoping there would be a brand name on the back side, but no luck. Still, convenient to have those to take to the paint store and show to them.Go to your local paint store [not a paint dept] and discuss it with them.
I don't think I've ever used a primer over factory painted roof panels BUT the ones I painted were already faded. On galvanized roofs the only time I used primer is if they had been let go too long and there was rust.
