Title: Refurd and coating for Flaminia grill
Post by: FERGTS246 on 26 March, 2024, 10:34:48 AM
Hi, my grill is looking a bit sad and needs a refurb. Has anyone have advice for removing the oxidisation and if there's a coating that will adhere to aluminium and stop oxidisation. A person who does dry ice blasting suggested getting an alloy wheel restorer to use the lacquer they use as a protective finish - he thought it might be a clear powder coat.
Thanks Chris

Hi Chris, I am sure the GT grill is stainless steel, if not chrome, it’s not aluminium. I use chrome polish which does the trick, but always end up with sore/bashed fingers.

Julian, I'll check the grill but I'm almost certain mine is aluminium. Perhaps the 3C models were given stainless steel :-]
Thanks
