Refinish aluminum patio furniture

We have a very nice set of bare aluminum patio furniture - chairs, table and a double seat. The original finish has worn off in the Texas sun and we can't use the set anymore due to the oxidization that rubs off on our clothes. I need advice on how to clean and either clear coat/seal (1st choice) or paint (2nd choice) the set to restore it's usefulness. Thanks

Have it blasted with very fine sand, then repaint using auto-quality primer and paint. It will last for many years.
