Topic: What's good clear coat to use to spray cast aluminum hubs,engine covers,etc. ?

[faux fiddy]

I prepped it and sprayed it w/ the ACE Polyurethane clear,it covered good and seems very durable.
I found that if I apply it too heavy it 'yellows' a little.I put it in the oven at 150 for an hr. to cure it and I think it'll do fine.

I had used newspaper on the cellar floor because it was raining outside and I don't have a bench;I'll have to do something else next time I do one because it should be suspended and able to spin to get all the areas w/o and touching like what I had.I just wanted to protect this CB350 drum front hub for now but learned a bit about how I would do it next time;still,it's protected from the elements and won't corrode for now..

I spent some time with the mothers polish on mine, still strung up to the rim.  Whatever you do, it seems it will always be falling off, after a decade or so.

Try marine grade polyurethane, it has UV inhibitors and doesn't yellow...
