clear coating bare alluminum feul cell drawbacks?

i am thinking about doing some work on my feul cell but leaving a majority of the tank the natural finish maybe even a little brush finish on the aluminum tank. i know when you clear steel it kinda yellows and stuff... what do the pores of the aluminum do to clear coating the tank? what should i be expecting?

i would do what you want on it then get it powdercoated clear. it will look like you just used paint but will withstand getting some spills on it

i did the logo on gumps fuel cell, its cleared over bare aluminum. it hasnt yellowed or delaminated and it was done in march.

Hey bulldog the aluminum then clear it with regular automotive clear. i've done this on engines and trans. many times.

get it anadized

im not familiar with what bulldoggin would be... but id love to learn something new!

Bull dog is a clear adhesion promoter that helps the clear coat stick. you can get it in a aerosol can at any paint store.

^^^^fascinating^^^^^^
did not know that
thank you trey

awesome.. thanks man..

be sure its lined with por15 and when you clear/powdercoat, make sure every surface is thoroughly coated because if you get the chalky oxidation under the clear, there is no way of getting to it without doing the job again
