Clear Coat wont stick to the Aluminum very good. Id skip the clear coating and just polish it up. You need a metal etching primer with a base coat of color for the the clear to stick.

yh well i was going to polish it then clear coat it i thought that would work fine

You dont need graphics, just polish it up and that would be sick.

so you think i should just do no graphics ?

and thanks ill hopefully have it ready for clear coat tomorow night

bobj (Oct 2, 2010 at 14:09)

well if you get graphics then you shud have them under the clear coat, but im not too sure if they would look good or not.

yh but if i decide to put graphics on later i can always put an extra coat of clear coat it wont make a diffrece and yh im not to sure if they would look good i would need to do something really cool for them if i was to get some

bobj (Oct 2, 2010 at 14:23)

ye, well how much do they cost, cos if they're cheapish then you shud buy some anyway and not use them if they dont look good
