Nope, regular MIG works just fine.

Its just a coating....remove it with a grinder for your best chance at a good weld. I am a welding engineer so feel free to ask any questions. Patriotformula is a great fabricator too, I don't know anyone else to the forum that fabricates but I am sure there are plenty more.

Montzemtrsprt does a lot of fab also. But he already got this done.

You can weld aluminized without taking it off, but like ssmonte said it won't look as nice when done especially if you're tiggin dat shit.
