My 96 Sport needs the swim platform brackets repainted. Anyone have a suggestion for the type of paint to use?

They appear to be anodized aluminum, but it looks like the PO painted them at some time. I do have access to a sand blaster if needed.

Jason,
Considering the environment, I feel anodizing would hold up better than paint so consider seeing if you have someone in your area who anodizes and give them a call. Painting is still an option but priming as well as the top coat will be key to how well it holds up. I wouldn't go in and ask for advice at the local hardware of home improvement store but seek a paint store that handles automotive and industrial finishes. |
