Anodized aluminum tank

(1/3) > >>

NCAmother:
Just curious if anyone has or has seen a clear anodized aluminum tank.  I have a partially polished/ partially raw tank the I just want a clear anodizing.  I've seen clear laquers and clear powder coats that turn yellow.  I called Ano-tech and asked for some advice, what I want is a military spec clear anodize.  I was told the anodizing makes the tank look titanium (good in my book) but you lose luster on the polished parts.  (They do a chemical etching prior to the anodizing)  Anyone see a clear anodized tank?

I think the issue will be that the grade of aluminium they use to build tanks will not be anodiseable.

It's normally not that it can't be anodized, but that it won't be a bright, clear coating.

I would think a shiny aluminum tank would be too distracting/blinding to drive on a sunny day.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right.
