| Re: Scratched aluminium
Holy smokes Brian - That's beautiful!!! I'd like to do that with my entire chassis!
I've sanded (with water) aluminum panels with grits ranging from 240 all the way to 1000, then buffed and they come out looking like mirrors. The problem was maintaining that look. Some folks say Zoop Seal is the stuff - Others opt for a Clear Powder Coat or a clear enamel. I would think that either the PC or Paint would slightly dull the finish.
Another thing to take into consideration is the alloy and hardness. The harder is is, the more likely it will be to retain a shine - but it will be more difficult to bring it to that shine as well.. |
