What about buffing them up and sealing them with some rustoleum rattlecan clear coat? I used it on the speaker boxes and glovebox lids that I made out of Carbon fiber and it's held up really well so I'd think it would work on Aluminum.

I'm following this... I have almost the exact version and they polished up okay from being neglected for years but I don't think waxing them every few weeks is going to happen.

The surfaces are pretty pitted right now.....
I have an email in to Roswell. Speaking with them 2 years ago, they said that those model years did pit if they weren't regularly waxed as they were not protected with a coating. Waxing the board racks has not been on my priority list. New racks are coated, however. Dave, those years were Flight Clip years.... These are aftermarket racks. |

Steve, I suggest looking into having them anodized. If any of the powder coat is chipped say at a corner, the moisture will get in and you will get the oxidation again. |

Steve, do you know Brian Harlan? He manages the Roswell Touring display, is a huge Correct Craft Guy (although I don't know his screen name on here) and a stunt man seen regularily on Chicago PD and Chicago Fire. Let me know and I will do an email introduction via email or facebook. He is a great guy and could let you know if Roswell does that kind of work.

The Roswell wakeboard racks we use on the 04 Air206 are getting badly pitted and the bungees are beginning to fray. I was thinking of getting them refurbed.... sending them back to Roswell or having them powder coated.
The aluminum was not originally sealed/coated like the new ones are.. so they are just going to do this again. I wouldn't mind them matching the silver tower powder coating as well. Has anyone done this? Polish and coat or powder coat with bungee replacement? Recommendations anyone? Cost prohibative? Thanks........ |
