My alloy special has only been scotchbrite rubbed so far and every time I touch it my hands come off black from fine ali dust! This is years after making it. It all need a wash/degrease I guess. I am undecided if I should paint (and fill) it or leave it raw but unpolished. It's not good enough to polish. If left raw I don't know how you protect it but I was guessing some kind of wax? My plan was possibly leave the body natural and paint the steel parts which is the valances and wings (once I make them). I could make the wings in alloy but worry about them hardening and cracking with vibrations.
