So I am in the process of stripping some previously powder coated aluminum wheels and aluminum bead lock rings and have been throwing around the idea of not painting them and just leaving them as is. I had a old 40 series Land Cruiser before with an Aqualu aluminum tub and enjoyed the functionality of it and did not mind the way it looked. I don't mind if it gets a bit oxidized or develops a bit of a patina and I don't think I will need to worry much about corrosion or pitting as I am in Southern California and don't need to worry about salt on the roads or things of that nature (I am in the desert and not going to the beach all that often--when I do I will be sure to hose the truck and wheels off).
I had also been contemplating aluminum armor in the past and leaving it all natural which has recently gotten me thinking about doing the same with the wheels vice rattle canning them.
Does anyone have any experience with anything along these lines dealing with raw aluminum?
