I have the mast in my backyard on saw horses right now. I have removed the winches , yacht cleats, track, everything. Did a test stip with some Jabsco paint remover and it looks like it will remove all of the flaking paint with ease. After the paint is removed I'll wet sand it to remove the small scratches from the last owner who used a wire brush to remove the old paint.
My question is when it is stripped down to the bare aluminum should I apply a non-ferrous clear coat or just leave it bare aluminum? My concern is oxidation if it isn't coated. Also cosidering clear powder coat too as there is a powder coating company with a huge oven close by.
