Aluminium canopy

Post by Riaang »

Ek het onlangs vir my 'n canopy van aluminium laat bou, +/- 2mm dik threadplate. My spesifikasies was dowwe aluminium, maar toe ek gister die canopy gaan haal moes ek my sonbril en suntan loation aansit - hulle het blink aluminium gebruik :(

Enige raad oor hoe om die blink uit te haal? kan mens dit verf? (seker nie baie prakties nie a.g.v. krapmerke, colour matching ens - my bakkie is rooi)

If it is mill finish aluminium leave it as it is. It will oxidize with in a couple of months and then you will have the correct dull finish.

Riaan, nothing you can add to dull it a bit. I agree with Steve or take it back and tell them to change it - you did pay for it afterall
