Default Aluminum Swimplatform

We have an aluminum swimplatform...it has some corrosion. What is the latest recommendation?

was going to have it sand blasted, sanded, and powder coated. Not sure how good the powder coat will look if there is pitting...thoughts suggestions.

If you first use a zinc primer powder coat, the powder coating will be safe even in salt water

Aluminum in salt water, there is no short cut.

Go all the way...or let it do it's own thing.

Pitting will show if blasted and re-powder coated.
