Protecting polished aluminum

[Trbo323]

Ok, have a PGP frame that I polished up but want to give it some protection from corrosion. Any suggestions?

Preferably something that makes it so it can still be handled/used without smudging.

There is clear anodizing...

Clear coat, cheap and if it ends up looking bad just strip it and redo.

Or as jim suggested, ano

[Ecapnation]

Keep in mind the stock pgp frame is cast junk not anodize-able aluminum.

Clear powder coat?

[Trbo323]

Yeah it's cast aluminum, can't ano

Clear powder coat?

Hadn't thought about that, I'll look around

Clear powder coat may be the best option.

wouldn’t powder coating require getting rid of the polish for the coating to adhere?

[William the Third]

No, not really. Powder coating is basically a plastic that is applied electrostatically, and then cured via heat and/or UV. It's basically the same way a laser/LED printer works.

You could try Permalac really tuff stuff, I work in the fine art bronze industry we have used it on public sculpture and seems to hold up fine to moderate abuse.

what about putting a coat of wax on it

Best way to do it is send it out for Chrome or Nickle Plating.....that's what I did for mine

I hadn't thought about cerekote.

I know I read about it at some point but anyone have a rough idea of how the price compares?
