My goal is to sand blast and clear (or anodize) coat. Is that what they did when it was manufactured?<br />It will take a while to sand blast, many hours or even a weekend and I understand that the new aluminum starts to corrode fast. I can not use zinc chromate primers to protect it if there is a way to stay original clear. Even the interior of Valco did not have primer only speckle paint(Wished I knew where to get speckle boat paint too). I striped a little to make sure. That was all the paint(speckle on interior) on the boat and I hope to do the same. Is there an anodize that is not green? I need iboat part # if you know them.<br />I really have no ideal what I'm talking about so I may be asking really dumb questions. I have other questions, but should use another post.<br />Sincerely, Albert
