Default 'Anyone ever refinished an amp's heatsink before?

If so, what's the procedure? I guess the same rule applies to any piece of aluminum. It'd have to be coated with some sort of clearcoat so it doesn't discolor.

I'd like the heatsink on my a/d/s/ amp to match the aluminum brightwork in my TT:

Default Call me, I know the answer and who can do it for you.

My rings are the example of the finish you could expect. BTW, love the idea!

Don't coat a heatsink, or it won't conduct and radiate heat as well.
