Title: Aluminium made dull? Post by: Eddie DVK on November 10, 2009, 11:34:56 am Hi,
Maybe a strange question but how can I make shinny aluminium dull without scratching? Kind Regards Edgar Title: Re: Aluminium made dull? Post by: jamiep_jamiep on November 10, 2009, 12:13:56 pm Anodise it, acid etch it, or if you're really careful media blasting (depending on what it is and how well it would stand up to being blasted - I would say this is a bad idea on anything other than cast parts).

Its perfect i tested it on a BRM made it look royaly fucked but was cheap and really easy to use.
Rob Will get the name for you Rob Title: Re: Aluminium made dull? Post by: andy M. on November 10, 2009, 13:33:30 pm Just do what we do here, leave it out in the rain! although your time scale requirements may force you into using the more high tech solutions above

Title: Re: Aluminium made dull? Post by: Diederick/DVK on November 10, 2009, 17:48:35 pm how about pure brake fluid?
or if it's about making the burners look more like the real thing, bury them in your garden until the season starts ;) got to think of it, you probably don't have a garden, how about the river ;D Title: Re: Aluminium made dull?

Rob Will get the name for you Rob Rob, if you got the name this would be great, I will try that. is the aluminum wheel clear coated? if it is not just use wheel acid on it, its what all the car washes use to get the brake dust off they dont put it on polished wheels because it dull's them out it works great No don t think it s clear coated. I will look in to this.. Just do what we do here, leave it out in the rain! although your time scale requirements may force you into using the more high tech solutions above andy ;) Right timescale is limiting factor. how about pure brake fluid? or if it's about making the burners look more like the real thing, bury them in your garden until the season starts ;) got to think of it, you probably don't have a garden, how about the river ;D ;) Indeed Deed it s for the burners I know the burying story but, you re right have an apartment without a garden so that won t work... river might work. Thanks guys for the quick responses Kind regards Edgar Title: Re: Aluminium made dull?
