Has anyone considered or indeed used Cerakote clear on aluminium (US translation aluminum)

The results seem quite impressive:

Pretty impressive indeed.
Only thing is I wonder if this stuff carcinogenic?
Also, they didn't test for beer, or vomit, which riders are more likely to expose the aluminum surfaces to.

Considering grilled meats contain carcinogens, who cares?
Ha! Franks Red Hot......they really DO put that shit on everything.

Is there a reason it would be carcinogenic ?

Id guess during application, maybe, but once dried, unlikely?

Just that coatings that protect from acids, alkalies, and such usually contain some compounds that are carcinogenic.
Actually, I was half jesting, but it would be nice to see the MSDS info for this stuff.
It does seem to do a great job of protecting alloy parts.

Well, it's not so bad.
Nothing carcinogenic, but just the usual volatiles.
Not that you would want to inhale, ingest, or bathe in it, but I would probably apply it outdoors.
It would be great for anyone with an alloy tank.
Who's gonna be first?

Certainly looks good, interesting to see damp road salt left on it for a week or two... Joys of a British winter and autumn... They salt the roads over here when it goes down to +2°, hate it.

Yep, definitely worth a test with the salt...just not on my tank!
