Basically, I am installing 6061 T-6 Aluminum skid plates (1/4″ thick) on a Jeep Rubicon Wrangler and would like to know if using “self-etching primer” and “Diamond Clear for bare metal”, would be the proper way to preserve the bare aluminum appearance? I’ve never used self-etching primer, is it clear?
I’m not as concerned about durability holding up to off-roading, as much as I am to corrosion since I prefer not to paint the aluminum.
Would this be the proper procedure using these two products, or would I just use Diamond Clear coat alone?
