What is your recommendation for windows frame finishing?
Clear anodizing or powder coated?
I'll have HD aluminum frame windows for wheelhouse.
Thanks

Hi Adam, Powdercoat is very tough, but be very careful that you achieve 100% coverage. It does not like sharp corners or crevices. If the coverage has holidays, the aluminum oxide will just peal off the plastic as the corrosion migrates. Chances are that the frames will not be 5000 series marine aluminum, which will really exasperate the problem. If you are hand making the frames anyway, use 316 stainless and powdercoat them. If all else fails, you could go with the varnish thing!

Why not epoxy coat the frames and then use acrylic spray paint "Steve Lusardi" <stevenospam.DeleteThis@lusardi.de> wrote in message news:bss7nd$b4$04$1@news.t-online.com... > Hi Adam, > Powdercoat is very tough, but be very careful that you achieve 100% > coverage.
