I like the bigger holes. I may re-make mine into 1" wide vertical ovals.

Re: Low cost appearance mod to aluminum parts

Kinda have to do the underside as the stripper is messy and gets down there. Both sides are done. May just bolt it on and polish it later. And save the rails for another weekend. Lot of work and that stuff is toxic to the hands I need to get better gloves as it got through mine and dried and chapped my hands

Re: Low cost appearance mod to aluminum parts

Well its on!! It looks pretty darn good. I'll probably spend some more time finishing the polishing job at a later date as it got cold today and we had flurries. Thanks For the idea Mike.
I was thinking of Maybe powdercoating it black. Not Sure How it would hold up at least with it unfinished scratches wouldn't show up as easy.

Re: Low cost appearance mod to aluminum parts

Do the steps plastic pieces just pop off?

No, it would be very difficult and you may break a peg off doing it. The end caps come off easy. The stripper does not harm the plastic steps at all, though.
