My roady's suffering the classic boot hinge blistering, having survived about 30k miles since a standard paint job cleared the problem. Looks like powder coating is the solution of choice, but how about anodising?
Even a powder coat would fall off eventually, whereas I think an anodised surface lasts a looooong time (pretty much forever, no?). I guess the finish could look a bit cheap as my car's all black and black-anodised parts have that "carabiner" sheen to them, but once it's anodised I can paint and re-paint it to my heart's content and it shouldn't ever blister, right?
No idea how much anodising costs relative to powder coating, but if it's a more permanent fix, I'd be happy to pay a bit extra.
Any thoughts?
