I OWN AN 85 TIARA WITH A PITTED ALUMINUM WINSHHIELD FRAME. I WAS THINKING OF SANDING IT WITH FINER AND FINER SANDPAPER DOWN TO 600 OR SO, THEN SEALING IT WITH LACQUER. WILL THIS WORK. WHAT ABOUT POWDER COATING OR PAINTING. ANY SUGGESTIONS, THANKS

You can take some polish or woody wax on some bronze wool and try to polish the pitting so that it becomes less noticable.

If that doesn't work, then I would either sand or soda blast the frame and have it painted in whatever color you want with Imron.

Best stuff to use is called alumaguard from rupp. The company rupp makes outriggers.

The stuff is like magic...trust me.

Do a google search..

If the aluminum is really badly pitted, so that its not worth trying tpo polish back up, then the easiest thin to do is to coat it with a UV resistant epoxy and then paint it.
