    Trim finishes
    « on: August 12, 2012 - 06:54:53 PM »
    So I spent a few hours today stripping the anodizing off of some aluminum
    trim. Sanded it smooth of nicks and such, then buffed it out. It looks fantastic but
    now I need to seal it so it stays looking good. I know that stainless you can just wax, but
    what about aluminum. Should I clear coat it or have it anodized. I'm leaning towards the
    clearcoat but will it stick to such a smooth finish? Any help here would be appreciated.

    I just had a quote from Ano Tech out near me to get my top of the door trim re anodized for 60 bucks if they're ready to do.

    they even pick up and deliver.

    Wow, That is a great price (was that for all four pieces?).  Do you have any contact info for them?

    Thanks Mike.

    I used to use a company call Paragon in Santa Ana, but they went out of business a few years back.
