I've painted on aluminum panels. The best and cheapest kind comes with a baked enamel finish. Look for them in a store that sells sign supplies. You can't beat them for a smooth surface. However, you will need to rough 'em up a bit with a fine sandpaper so your paint will stick.
The reason I don't use them is because they can be a very "slippery" surface. Because the paint can only dry from one side, drying times are longer. And lastly, even though it is aluminum, it made for a very heavy painting and tended to break my frames apart.
