[TowerTalk] Protecting Aluminum Antennas

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Is there anything that will keep an antenna shiny and bright, besides 
not putting it up?
I have often heard clear Krylon mentioned, but from my experience, it is 
very short lived.  Three coats, allowed to dry between coats only lasted 
a few months if that.
Around here (central MI) the shiny Al turns to a dull finish in a month 
or two.

Alodyne does last and looks good, if you like a shiny gold color and 
have both time and ambition.  I have used Alodyne on aircraft elevator 
hinges.  It's a very labor intensive (tedious) process. The antenna 
would certainly stand out.
