It seems like in order to paint an aluminum mast one has to sand it blank and then apply etcher -> primer -> paint.
Today I started sanding my traveler and the anodized surface is VERY tough. I used 80 grit and not much came off. Then I used my grinder a little bit and I got down to the blank aluminum. Grinding my traveler and eventually my mast seems a bit too much. Has anyone experience with painting anodized aluminum? How do you get rid of the anodized layer?
The traveler is not painted, just anodized.
Thanks, Markus
