Powder coating works well BUT I  have found that it doesn't wear well =
with marks and discolouration occurring particularly on the driver's =
door after a while.

Have also heard that suntan lotion discolours the finish very quickly.=20

Hello,

=20

What is the recommended finish for the aluminum cockpit surround? The =
original anodizing wasn't in good shape and has been stripped and the =
aluminum has lots of scratches and nicks from over the years. These are =
the finishes I was considering:

Bare polished aluminum

Re-anodizing

Powder coating the same colour as anodizing

=20

I was leaning towards powder coating as it may be the best at hiding =
nicks and scratches.

=20

Thanks... Harold
