Hi there,
I'm looking at restoring a few aluminium frames. i wanted to strip them and leave them bare, but I wondered whether this risks them corroding - is this true, and if so, does it really matter?
I've been told that applying clear coat lacquer to aluminium can be difficult, as it tends to go brown and not adhere so well
I remember that the PK Ripper's bare metal finish was described as 'ball burnished' - is that just a marketing phrase, or is that a polishing process?
has anyone tried anodising? anything else I've not thought of?
I'd be grateful for any advice!
Jim
