Thanx for the input.
One of the few things I miss about "working" was the opportunity to have suppliers throw a couple small pieces like this in with our production runs.
Anodizing would be the finish of choice, but I am not ready to delve into yet another hobby of DIY anodizing though.
I used to run a powder coating shop over 40 years ago. Never got too interested in the DIY version here at home.
For this project, I think I'll just leave them plain blasted aluminum. The rest of the parts are painted and will be abused as this is a set of "turn plates" for doing car alignments. so it won't look brand new for too long after driving on and off them a few times. It was supposed to be a quick distraction project that got way out of hand...as usual with me!!!
