| I just had a custom flash bracket made from aluminum. It looks great but when I took it out into the field with me, it was . . .well overly reflective (even blinding at times). I want to apply a matte black paint (a crinkled effect would be nice) but am afraid to ruin the bracket with cheap paint that will flake or scratch off easily. Does anyone happen to know how I can accomplish this with a wear resistant finish? What preparations are needed (ex. Do I need to buff the aluminum first)? Thanks in advance. |

| Powdercoating would probably be a good option. |

I'll have to agree with lhall on this one. Powder coating is very durable and it will leave a dull satin-like finish that will make it almost disappear in the dark.
If you want another option you could look into the truck bed liner spray that is used to replace bedliners.
Happy clicking. :-)
