Hi All,
This forum is my go-to place for answers, so thanks in advance to all of the members here. This is probably a very newbie questions but here goes:
I have a part that I machined and have anodized, but it is slightly more matte finish than I want. It is a mixture control knob for a flight simulator:
I wasn't able to buff or sand it perfectly after blasting due to the geometry and being worried about rolling over the corners. As such, it is perfect except slightly less shiny than I want.
Can I put some sort of Lacquer or Polyurethane coat on top of anodized aluminum? I would just want a little more gloss, but something that can stand up to being handled a lot.
Thanks!
Charlie
