As a winter project, I ordered 6' aluminum z-bar from M-M. Plan to cut down to size and paint. Will replace some rusty z-bars in my fleet. RC quoted me a pretty high number, so...
Has anyone tried this and are there any problems to watch out for when painting aluminum? Plan is to make clean cuts, maybe round the ends, pre-drill holes for slats, degrease, prime and paint? Sounds simple enough....
McMaster Carr: part 7062T13; 6061 Aluminum Z-Bar, 1/16" Wall Thickness, 3/4" High, 1" Outside Width, 6' lengths run $16 each.
(Sorry for size of this spec sheet!)
