Aluminum Paint workshop
I have an engine lid badge - 1300 badge - made out of aluminum.
Its an old replacement - and it looks dull and white patchy.
I read up about how it has be acid dipped, etch primed and a fair bit of prep work to paint it. It all seems a fair amount of work for a small bit of
metal for me.
Is there a good shop that will do that for me instead?
