Well, it sounds like you answered your own question. :D

If, you are in a hurry, Paint. If you are low on funds, paint. :thumbsup:

You can install aluminum skin at a later date when you have the money and time.

I'd paint it, and come back and skin it later when you had some extra money and time. The nice thing about paint is it's much cheaper, quicker, and lighter than aluminum.
