karlow Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 I picked up a Dolphin Tee Top a few months ago. Its the original model. The factory finish is brushed AL. It in very good condition, with no corrosion, but that bushed finish with water spots looks like crap. I want to refinish it. I'm going to mount it on my Outrage. It's not one piece, bolts together. What do you recommend? I have used you kits to finish or refinish a couple of fuel tanks, but they are not visible or exposed to UV light. Karl Quote
KBS Coatings Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 So, you are looking for a clear coat for aluminum, correct? Quote
karlow Posted January 2, 2019 Author Report Posted January 2, 2019 No, I need a good tough protective finish that is going to hold up to a marine environment. The finish should be a white, off white, maybe a grey. see the boat below. its off white. Quote
KBS Coatings Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks for the pictures! That really helps us see what you see. KBS Top Coater would be absolutely ideal. Clean all surfaces really well with KBS Klean. Then apply KBS Top Coater in thin, covering coats. For marine applications like this, apply at least 3 coats. KBS Top Coater also does comes in all of the colors you suggested. Please let us know if that helps you out and if you have any additional questions. Quote
karlow Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Posted January 3, 2019 The aluminum is unfinished, I will use the same finish on the seat post which are slightly oxidized. Do I need to do any special prep? Should I use the primer that come with the rust seal kit, or ?? Quote
KBS Coatings Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 For unfinished aluminum, clean well with KBS Klean, dust a coat of KBS Fusion on and then apply KBS Top Coater. Quote
