Next project but could do with some ideas.

I've managed to find some rectangular aluminium box which is 77mm tall and just enough width to cram a 75C board, 510, and home fashioned 18650 battery sled/contacts inside.

I've sorted the panels and everything else except I can't decide on the finish.

I've looked into anodising and it looks like far too much hassle.

I could wrap it and have some two tone and black carbon wrap.
Or I could powder/plastic coat it but I've not done aluminium before only lead so not sure how well it would take until I've done a tester.

It needs something cos aluminium is too soft and will dent and scratch too easily

Anyone know any other methods or ideas I could look into first.

 

[Mr Ripple]

It's ready to put together with the exception of fine sanding the panels and some sort of aluminium coating.

anodizing if done correctly is hard-wearing but you would have to send it away

You can get anodizing kits on ebay.

Think they are similar to self plating kits for nicol
