SamKidney Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Dont know how well the laquer with adhere to raw aluminium... Raw it and give it a polish. Will look nicer for longer than leaving it fully raw with no finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo2011 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 if the frames ever been powdercoated.. forget it. its way more work than you will ever want to do to get it smooth again. and theres no point in laquer.. if its alu it wont rust.

My_Teenage_Self Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Do you want a polished finish? If you do, Get busy with some Autosol every few months. As said, aluminium doesn't need lacquer, and more often than not, it'll look worse the moment it chips. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

315r Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) I polished (not mirror finished) and lacquered a booster two years ago and it's still shiny. Use it to polish to mirror finish. Do not lacquer over aluminum with mirror finish, the lacquer doesn't hold.
