If it were me, I'd use a 2-part urethane on it. The finish is superb,
and that stuff is *HARD*. Also, when patch/repairs are needed, it will
be easier to match the existing finish.

I am having an aluminum dodger built for my sailboat. I want it to be white
when it's finished.

The question is, should I have it powder coated or painted? Either is
possible, and not out of line for cost. I am looking for durability,
long-term looks, and ability to make minor repairs.

Any thoughts either for or against each option?

Thanks,
Rusty
