 Posted: Wed May 22, 2013 10:09 pm Post subject: Flap Bracket Repaint advice? |
 |
|
Hi all. After several years the paint on my flap hinge brackets is starting to flake off in places with signs of light corrosion on the aluminium.
I intend to do a proper job and refurb them all. My thoughts are to clean them all back to the bare aluminium and treat with Alodine/ Alocrom having first prepared them with the special Alodine deoxidising treatment. Then repaint them using aerosol spray can paint as I do not have proper spray facilities or ability.
Questions for the experts and those who have gone before...! In general does this sound a good course of action? Specifically, having applied the Alodine do I need some sort of undercoat/ primer paint next or can my choice of white glossy topcoat aerosol paint go straight onto the alodine? Also any tips for the best way to sand off the old paint & corrosion to reach bare metal?
Any advice much appreciated, cheers!

I am having as much paint work of metal parts powder coated as this gives a harder wearing finish, even parts that I have alocromed before hand.
