ghetdjc320 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Used some leftover paint from my truck to do the hood and accent pieces on the ski. Will be a cool match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will still just rust underneath the liner. Gold galvanizing compound is what I use for touch ups and it really does hold up to the salt very well. But yeah, it would be cool if it matched. Maybe a matching tool box for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Keep in mind that with salt water I actually have seen aluminum rust though. It’s crazy, I never thought it would do that. Being here I’ve learned of the various grades of stainless steel and the different processes for keeping things from rusting. Galvanic corrosion is also crazy. Stainless bolts in aluminum etc. If I could have a whole aluminum frame made and then have it anodized with a specific color that’s probably the only thing that would last semi-permanently. Epoxy paint holds up fairly well too I’ve noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would need to be at least 316 stainless and would need to be a c channel design so it doesn’t trap any water.
