[DeTomaso] Clear Coating Aluminum?

[Thomas Borcich]

Is anodizing clear?  What are wheels coated with if anything? I would assume 
that different grades of aluminum will corrode at different rates, such as 
wheels, their alloy content makes them more resistant to corrosion and 
discoloration. I have to assume that aluminum heads are the same way.

What if I just glass bead blast the ZF case and bellhousing and don't clear 
coat it with anything?  How long before it turns color again?


Best regards,

Tom Borcich
