I'm considering painting the exterior myself and I'm looking for some paint recommendations. I live in Central California and have a mobile with Aluminum Horizontal Siding. I would like to paint the siding as well as various other metal parts and pieces to match.

What suggestions do you have if I'm planning to paint it myself?

I read this on "Ask the builder.com" on using metal primer first.

I used Valspar 100% Latex over Vinyl with a primer and it worked great.

Lorne is right on that about using a good primer even if you don't spend a lot on the paint primer is of up most importance. I would recomend Kwall or valspar on paint if you can afford it if not you can get color palace from walmart which is made by Sherman Williams.
