BROWNELLS ALUMA-HYDE® II | Brownells
I've had a long history of using this stuff when rebuilding bikes,and I'll wholeheartedly recommend this stuff. Very tough. Very tenacious. Its the perfect coating in that it works and its way less in price than the 1K and 2K coating available now.
Ride report: It's been a couple of months since I used the Brownells AlumaHyde on the cranks, chainring, fasteners, and handlebars. Many rides on the beach and neighboring streets. NoControl's advice is rock-solid. Tenacious is the word he used and there's not a better description for the stuff. The only spot that it rubbed off is on the crank arm likely a result of my feet moving around on the rubber block pedals. But I blame my son's time on the cruiser because my spin satin smooth. I'll re-spray the crank arms, let the coating cure properly, and cover the area with helicopter tape.
Much obliged, NoControl.
