Paint is an option.

ScotchGuarding? Well it won't stain now. Maybe you meant Scotch-Brite?


Ha! Yeah, I had it pressed and steam-cleaned, too... Sheesh.

My hands are so sore from sanding, Scotch Guarding would probably do them
good. How the hell do people strip planes for a living? And how do people
keep bare aluminum planes shiny?

Speaking of which, why is THAT legal, if a polished prop isn't? Weren't
those planes "painted at the factory", and now they don't have sufficient
"anti-corrosion protection"?
