buffed aluminum hood w/clearcoat?
�
�
any ever try this? seen one?
i have a black car and i have many scratches/dings on my hood. i was thinking why not just strip it down, give it a nice brushed surface, and spray some clear coat on it? then i won't cry when i get a dent/ding/scratch/whatever.
it looked good on cobras. ;)
i'm thinking the dull brushed Al silver would look very nice with the black car and hoodscoop. i'm not thining 2000 grit wet/dry shine here either.
thoughts?

I am not sure how you go about doing it but I bet it would look hot, maybe do the trunk also.

Do it. Raw metal looks sweet.

If you were to take the paint off for either the naked metal look, or for paint prep, is there anything to worry about if one uses an electric sander/grinder? Besides over sanding spots, is there anything specific to worry about for our hoods?

That's the most un-bling thing I've ever heard... sounds practical except for the added weight.
| ride5000 | 04-06-2005 03:29 PM |
clear coating may not be practical, since it too will yellow, chip, flake, crack, etc.
i'm starting to narrow it down to two options:
a) have it anodized. could get pretty expensive, but it's a nice, hard, lifetime coating.
b) let it oxidize naturally. finish gets duller and duller but can be revived with a wetsand or rubbing/buffing compound periodically.
i want to avoid the mirror finish for practicality reasons.

Yes - heat/warpage and sanding scratches. The best method for removing the paint would be to use aircraft paint stripper. I used it to strip my Land Rover aluminum body before a re-paint and it worked great.
Now, here's an idea. After stripping/ prepping the hood, just cover it completely with Rockblocker or 3M clear film.

paint stripper would be the best option. Then you could wet sand it with 2000 grit sand paper for the ultimate smoothness and shine. Then go have it powdercoated with a nice clear stardust topcoat to give it that metal flake sparkle. In my opinion that would be pretty nice. Just my thoughts.

Thanks for the info regarding the paint stripper. Sounds much easier than trying to sand off the paint. I ran head on to a flying 2x4 on the freeway one night- kicked up by the car in front of me- and it put two dents in my hood. I want to try fixing the hood myself before paying someone, or before replacing it with a new one. Thanks again for the info.

that could be cool. you'd have to work pretty hard to get it sanded down evenly though.

| WickedSTI | 04-06-2005 09:03 PM |
If you di this WD-40 and steel wool are your freinds.Sand the hood till it looks uniform and then get out the wd-40 and steel wool if you want it to look all them same and be ez to do over and over.People do it to bikes all the time.Brad

Don't do b. It will oxidize fast and look like crap. I have an aluminum bicycle that lost it's anodization in a few spots, and I can't keep it polished fast enough.

The only downside is aluminum can get kinda nasty looking when it oxidizes...and can tend toward pitting, too. I'd be leery, with you near the coast...check out how raw aluminum looks on boats after awhile!
Edit: and as far as sanding/buffing, remember what's used in grit for some sandpaper---aluminum oxide!!

...and just say NO to using steel wool on aluminum.....bad idea....galvanic action = bad juju.

| randolph-rs | 04-06-2005 11:36 PM |
as a machinist I can tell you that 2000 grit sandpaper, dishwashing liquid, and a slow flow of h2o will leave aluminum looking amazing. I have made many different items out of aluminum and wet sanding with 2000 grit and dawn has really been a great combo for me. I also use WD40 and a very fine 3m pad to achieve an almost chrome like finish. I do have to follow up with aluminum polish to finish the deal. However, once you use polish or anything with petroleum in it your luck for paint adhering to the surface is greatly diminished.
It would be a wise idea to either clearcoat, anodize, or powdercoat bare aluminum. If you live in very salty conditions such as the coast or places where road salt is used often then bare aluminum will corrode much faster and begin to deteriorate. So definately make sure it is protected.

thanks for all the input folks.
what i've learned:
strip the paint instead of abrading it off
stay away from steel wool, use 3m pad instead
coat it with SOMETHING after it's bare
i will likely try a patch on the inside/underside of the hood as a trial... see how difficult it is to achieve a desired surface, then maybe try a clear coat longevity test.
i think it would look pretty cool, imho.

I bet you could buy a stock hood from someone with an aftermarket/cf piece and go to town playing around with it. That's what I would do, maybe break it up into 4 different sections and try 4 different techniques/finishes to see what you like best before you do the whole thing on your hood.
+1 for strip/powdercoat.

I have many many years polishing and working with aluminum. Here's my advice.
1. paint stripper to get off the paint take your time and let the stripper do its work.
2. use pressure washer to get stripper and paint off do not sand paint off.
3. let hood comletly dry before next application of stripper.
4. finish should be nice and satin.
your choice
a. get anodized and never worry about again, satin finish easy to maintain.
b. leave bare clean with wd 40 or silicon spray leave light light residue on ....you will need to keep up with cleaning and possibility of pitting can occur but fixing is very easy sand out marks scotch brite pad to get nice finish back.
I recommend getting anodized ....not expensive either

I'm still fantasizing about the Rino Liner. Rock Blocker for front and hood, Rino liner from the door handles down and a 2X6 on the front bumper to "help the slow drivers out of the left lane". Could sell it as a package.

how much glare do you get off your hood now?
you really don't see much of the hood at all from the driver's seat. at least imho.

I like the idea. I did a quick photochop example of what it might look like (I think this represents an aluminum polished hood). Not sure who's car this is, just borrowed the pic from the black thread.

This is probably completely out of left field, but are there any nasty weld spots from the underside that might show through?
I assume the hood is one stamped piece, but what do they do to hook up the hood-stiffness webbing deal on the inside?

| jac04 | 04-07-2005 04:37 PM |
I believe that the hood skin is bonded to the stiffener and not spot welded, but it is something to look out for.
| WRXRgr | 04-07-2005 07:06 PM |
I bet a nicely done CF scoop would look pretty sharp on the polished aluminum, Ken!

I stripped my hood when I painted the car. Used chemical stripper and let it sit for a while, then scraped and rinsed. Too many stone chips to sand out. There are no welds or anything else that shows through, just aluminum. I played with the idea of polishing and actually tested a small spot with steel wool. Didn't take long for a shine to develop. I ended up re-painting though.

ken, buy some of the ultra fine glass beads and we can use the sand blaster to remove the paint and smooth it. I mean we could try sand too at a lower psi then just polish the hood after.

I'd be very careful about using a blaster or power sander. Too much localized heat could warp the hood pronto.

i'm still mentally debating going through with this.
one big thing that holds me back is the loss of "sleeper" factor.
on a positive side note, the dime-sized dent w/paint chip that has been missing for over a year has shown no evidence of oxidation or pitting... and i've only washed the car twice! :lol:
for reference, here's a buffed al '04 xj jag show car:

if you have dents you won't be able to get them perfect without body filler.
we have a delorean in my household and when you get a scratch on it you use steel wool and some buffing liquid, it works really well.. that is stainless, i dont see why Alum would be any different.
go for it :) on a black car it'd be hot.. .WRB not so much.

How dented is your hood? Can the dents be fixed? It might not look too nice with dents all over the place, that's one reason I went to fiberglass.

Ride5000, if you do go through with this, check out a product called "zoop seal" [url]http://www.zoops.com/zoopseal.asp[/url]
It's not cheap, but it offers great protection for raw metal.

I am pretty sure that car is painted with a special paint that duplicates aluminum....
You will not be able to get the hood anodised unless you find someone to acid dip it and get all of the bonding agent out of it. The anodiser will not take the chance of ruining his vat with that crap. It would look cool..but way too much work to keep up and over time it will get thin....good for weight...bad for looks (the suns heat could warp it at that point)....just get it fixed....

ok, dent-wise, the only bad one is where the paint chipped.
it's a bit embarassing :lol: , but i'll tell you how it happened:
working under the hood, trying to get clearance to get through the firewall grommit. hood's in the way, so i get a stick and prop it up higher. i get through the grommit, go back to the cabin so i can pull the wire through. get on my back in the footwell, moving around a bit. the movement is enough to shake the hood and dislodge the stick. the hood drops onto a socket wrench in the engine compartment, making a dime sized dimple UP, which pops a bit of paint off.
now, i took a small ball pein hammer, grabbed something like a frog to back it, and managed to reduce the height, but since i was already nauseous from the dumb-ass newbie mistake effing up my hood i was very reluctant to further damage the paint on the periphery of the dent. i am CERTAIN that with some more time spent i can get the dent almost perfectly flat with the hood again. hell, it's aluminum and it's very ductile (as we're all only too aware).
other than that the only damage to the hood is the thousand or so tiny paint chips from driving through 4 new england winters, and a scratch picked up from god knows where along the front curved leading edge.
i'm also 99% certain i will NOT be buffing to a mirror finish like the jag. too blingy for my tastes, and any surface irregularities would immediately show up... i'm going more for a brushed look, like that cobra. :D
i've done work with plate al before and it's pretty easy to dress up/keep up with sandpaper. i should just stop talking about it already, get some aircraft paint stripper, and go for it.

yeah subarus are the only car people do experiments with, it's kinda an unwritten law. :rolleyes:
I can also totally see where stripping a hood of paint or drilling a headlight would reduce the reliability of your car. :confused:
