Need Clear-Coat for Raw Aluminum was created by daveo
I have a couple NOS engine covers with the original factory applied protective finish on them.

Like to approximate that finish on several other J-motor covers that have no finish.

Anyone suggest a durable, fuel-resistant spray-can gloss finish for use on raw aluminum?

Satin luster polished finish:

I've had good success with Cerakote clear on aluminum. Also Shine and Seal.

Have to look that one up Vinsky, shine and seal, never heard of it? I go thru the same deal Daveo, except it's the fork lowers. I have no clue as to what Kawasaki/Honda, etc used, tough stuff for sure. I can say one thing though, it's ALL in the preparation. As related to fork lowers, don't want a "highly polished" surface before clearing, brushed is preferred. Have been trying to reach out to car mag wheel suppliers for years, basically the same stuff but can't ever get a clear, pun, answer.

The product I mentioned isn't Shine and Seal, it's ShineSeal. If I recall correctly it use to be Zoop Seal.
