Does anyone do Clear powder coating that will stick to aluminuim? Paint wont stick to aluminium properly unless you etch prime it 1st. And they don't make clear etch primer.......
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

Your best bet is a silver anodise or just polish the shit out of it. That will stop the corrosion for a while but you'll still need to clean it up periodically
