Re: Polishing an Aluminum Roof Rack and then not- Ass Pain!

Project complete. After a few months of dilly-dallying I finally finished restoring my roof rack. Complete tear down and rebuild with a lot of new hardware.
I had a bit of a pain trying to get the rubber to stick to the bottom of the feet. i have a hunch that it will only last this summer. Thinking ahead I bough a can of Plasti-Dip to use on it when I redo that. Here is the finished product. Some powder coating, lots of Autosol, and a few swears later and I think it turned out pretty good. Only had the rachet slip once and put a sweet scratch and dent in the roof. Glad it is done though as I really am ready to move on to another project
