Hey guys-
I am trying to find where to purchase my aluminum to skin my teardrop. I found that you can call Alcoa mill to have them locate an distributor for the metal you need and in the sheet size you want. The problem is, I don't know what aluminum to use. Alcoa needs both alum. grade and temper. I left a message with the Aluminum Association and they will help you with the aluminum type you need. I think I want a .040 thick 5000 grade aluminum. Do I need to finds it anodized? Will it be a maintenance nightmare? I want as bright of a metal as possible. Sorry for any redundancy, I'm sure this question comes around every so often so if there is a thread out there, please send me the link.
Thanks,
David
