    Does bare aluminum get clear coated?

    Just wondering whats done at the factory. Do they clear coat bare aluminum unless it's anodized? Is it possible to shine and clear coat our stuff with some durability or just leave well enough alone?
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    they have to.... they can also paint it, but it isn't very durable. bare aluminum will oxidize without anything covering it.
