Clear coating silk screened aluminum?
Posted by admin on September 1st, 2009 at 08:32am
I hope I am posting in the proper forum…
I have silk screened some brushed aluminum with uv ink, the aluminum I intend on bending into boxes, but I can already tell the ink will wear off over time without a clear coat. I need to clear coat these so the ink will be protected. I have thought of using polyurethane but that may not be suitable being these boxes are for guitar effects boxes and it could wear quickly.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good clear coat for this? Can I anodize them, will this remove the ink if I do? Should I use some type of automotive clear coat? I need some thing very durable. Thanks!
