Painting Drives
OK the drives are striped but what do I use to fill in the pitts from corrosion sp? What will hold to aluminum and not pop out after I spend all this time making them look good?

I would paint them with a really good etching paint. Remember that alluminum corodes in about 30 min there will be a skin of corrosion on it, so you want to prep it and get it to prime ASAP. After that since your pits are probably all fine then take a finish bondo and use that to fair it out. Then sand, prime again because when you sand you will go through the primer in a lot of places then paint with a quality eurathane.

What about polishing the lowers? Do you lose hydrodynamic efficiency? Other than the maintenance issue, are there advantages or disadvantages?
