Hi,
I was thinking of getting my road bike (which is only used for racing and training in the summer) shot blasted and leaving it just bare aluminium.
Then I heard that the surface gets tarnished quite easily and needs regular polishing. So I thought about polishing and putting a clear laquer coat on the top, but someone told me that it will still fade and tarnish and needs anodising.
Does anyone have any advice or experience they can share on getting this done?
thanks
Ives
