Another way to get a similar finish is to have the trim polished then clear=
powder coated.=C2=A0 Leaves a close second to Brite Dip and the powder coa=
ting is a durable finish.=C2=A0 Nice to hear form you Bob.Mike=C2=A0=20

Hi Linda,
The Al frames and cockpit surround were originally done by some type of pro=
cess that made them have a more polished silver look. =C2=A0Mike McLean pro=
bable remembers what it is called. =C2=A0Some years ago he found a company =
still doing that coating but it was expensive. =C2=A0It also would scratch =
fairly easy. =C2=A0Now days polishing and clear anodizing is probably most =
common although some folks just polish the frames and surrounds and claim t=
hey stay looking good with out vey much effort. =C2=A0I can not attest to t=
hat claim. =C2=A0Anyway if they are anodized then there is not much you can=
easily do to change them. =C2=A0Anodizing Al gives you a coating of AlO2 w=
hich is the same as sapphire and diamond is the only thing harder than sapp=
hire. =C2=A0It is possible to re-polish the fames but not an easy task.
I did an article and several classes on rebuilding sliding side curtains ba=
ck about 2000 and will send you, and any one else interested, that write up=
.
