[QUOTE="airshot, post: 491216, member: 1183"] Aluminum oxidizes naturally to protect itself. Other than a clear coat which may slow down the oxidisation, it wont stop it. Some guys paint there hull to make it easier to look good. Have owned aluminum boats for 60 years, painted hulls are easier, natural aluminum is just work to shine. It will oxidize just so far then it will stop or slow way down as a form of protection, might not look good , but it is not hurting the metal.. [/QUOTE]
