I have a raw aluminum frame that I am going to build up soon. Does anyone know what I could use to coat the aluminum to protect it and keep the freshly built but unpainted look?
Aluminium frame coatings
i'd probably use clearcoat…:rolleyes:

I like to throw up prior to dropping into a-line. I find it makes jumping easier.
That's what Im asking about….. any specific recomendations?

i had a couple raw letoys that held up fine with no finish at all. the second frame i polished with mothers aluminum polish - looked pimp, and just needed touchup in the high wear areas every few weeks.
what about powdercoating it clear. that would be more durable i think.

I have a polished vpfree, like xy9ine said all you need is a quick buff to get other peoples drool marks off.
So many freaks, so few circuses.
the clearcoat that comes in spray cans will rub off your top tube where your knees/thighs rub on the frame. if you want your coating to maintain a thick or glossy looking finish i would suggest using something stronger and more durable than clear coat
