Consider  that most of our "babies" are usually hangared- how many hours

your  panel be exposed to direct sunlight after X number of years?  Is this  

really an issue?



==========================================

 

Yes and it doesn't take long for it to look really bogus.  This is a  known 

problem with regard to anodizing dyes and IMO is a very strong argument  for 

powder coating, as these finishes are very color stable.  The only  down side to 

powder coating is that it shouldn't be done where the corrosion  resistance 

of a chromate is indicated or where structural cracking might go  unnoticed..

 

Why would anyone knowingly color anodize something that will be  outdoors 

when powder coating is so superior and readily available?
