Re: [A/S] Corrosion

 

Rob,

Pretty nasty case of filiform corrosion. Us vintage folks don't have to
worry about that. My Liner had no clear coat and the polishing has been
started, my Safari has a case of sunburn on the top but the sides look
good. One of the problems with the new clear coat is that it is applied
by the aluminum supplier and does experience damage when the holes are
drilled for rivets and when the rivets are pounded in.

Your best bet is probably to strip the clear coat around the damage and
reapply with whatever is available. New trailer owners can help you out
with that. You could strip the entire trailer and try to polish, but it
will not look as good as a polished vintage trailer.
