If clear ano is unavailable, perhaps an option could be bare, un-anodized Al? Simple metal polish such as cotton wadding-based products (Nevr-Dull) are easy to apply, retain natural OEM shine, and one application lasts a very long time. It's my go-to stuff for polished Al wheels, motor covers etc. on my vintage and modern motorcycles.
An owner might even wish to allow the unfinished and unpolished Al to develop it's natural patina, in keeping with light as tool vs light as industrial art.
Interesting that the “top three” has not changed, although they are changing places with each other a little. Yay for Olive Green in the lead! (barely)
To me OD Green is the only one that doesnt look like a toy…… but that’s JMO
It seems there were many that also had OD Green as a 2nd choice …… so if 1st and 2nd votes were combined…. OD green would be the leader by larger margin.
Voted for 021/ blaze orange, what else could I vote for as a Dutchmen (And it looks great as well)
2: 356 Coleman green is nice as well.
3: 7503 Flat dark earth
What about a condorcet voting process, where people can express multiple preferences in a listed order?
ToyKeeper set one up a while ago to find out the preferences for the FW3A LEDs and CCT.
