Default Polished Aluminum Spinner..

Find out what alloy was used to make the spinner, different
alloys have different corrosion prevention needs.
If you want the bright aluminum polish, a good clear coat
may keep it bright. But paint doesn't like high polish
surfaces, it needs some tooth to bite into, a good paint job
inside and out, on properly etched and primed metal will do
wonders. You can even paint the spinner with a pattern that
looks better than bright metal.

| How about a clearcoat paint, applied quickly after a
polishing and cleaning?
