Finishing / sealing bead blasted aluminium
chrsgrain - 28/3/09 at 07:04 PM

Hi All,

About to bead blast some cast ali bits (inlet manifold, fuel pump, thermostat housing etc). Is there anything which can be sprayed stright onto the casting to stop the oxidising and keep it looking nice!?

Thanks

Chris

Clear lacquer

I thought about that ^^^, but was worried about not etch priming the ali - is that not a problem?

Ta

cant you buy clear etching paint these days for glass? Surely that would work, but i dont know what temperature it withstands.
