Angle Iron/Aluminum
 

I am working on a project that will require me to create a ledge the
turns down at a 90 degree angle.

It has to be as resistant as possible to oxidation(ie:sweaty hands),
and also as dark as possible.(Preferably black).

The angle iron I've found at Home Depot has some sort of paint/coating
that doesn't seem durable, and the angle Aluminum there is too bright.

I'd appreciate any other ideas for a materials/coatings that may fit
my needs.

Thanks.

Check out powder coating. It is powdered plastic that is sprayed on
the metal, then melted.

Aluminum will oxidize in just a few minutes. The coating on steel is
scale and should be ground/sanded off before painting or powder
coating.

Hard Anodized aluminum angle should work. It will be black and a very
durable finish.

Since they do not have that at Home Depot, would you know the
best(cheapest) place to get it?

You'd have to buy the angle, then have it hard anodized. Should be a few
places fairly local to you that do that.

The spray paint?

I'm building a modular control panel with joysticks and buttons(which
is why I mentioned the sweaty hands).

This would make it difficult and cost prohibitive, so I'd need to go
with another option.

Powder-coating could be an option -- that's an extremely durable finish.

The possible problem is you need to have a 400F oven, which isn't used
for food preparation. If the part is small enough, a used
toaster-oven would do just fine.

I looked into powerder coating years ago when I was considering using
it on some arcade game related metal parts, but had come to the
conclusion that it wasn't plausible to do myself in my small
apartment,a nd it wasn't worth it to try and have it done at one of
the auto places.

Any idea what the approximate cost of materials/hardware, and also the
amount of room needed for a set-up like this?

(The size of the largest parts would be as much as 2' X 1').

Thanks.
