Aluminum windshield frame refurb

[1bayouboy]

I'm restoring a '74 Seacraft Tsunami which has aluminum windshield frames. I have them off the boat and would like to put on a durable finish that would provide maximum corrosion
protection and look good too. My top two choices are use some kind of epoxy or have them
hard anodized. I'm not sure about the durability of anodizing other than you see it on all types of aluminum marine equipment like gaffs, polespears, reels, diving gear, etc.

I'd be interested in epoxy recommendations as well....

They power coat them!

If you can get the anodized that would be a good choice. You can choose your color and it would have the durability of a new frame. If you can dissasemble them into basic component strips it would make the job easier.

I can only get them down to "section"....two sides, left and right front, and center.
The side panels are almost 5 feet long and triangular. I'm assuming I can get them
to a shop that could anodize them......

If they're pitted, anodizing is not the way to go. If you anodize, repairs to pitting and other damage will have to be welded up which is time consuming, expsensive, and risky. If you powdercoat or paint, any damage can be easily repaired with epoxy.
