Just get a Rustoleum color that matches. I believe from the factory they use a neutral sealant that weathers off eventually.

Wing, I just had my aluminum transom reinforcement pieces welded. If you are anodizing you need the matching rod (tig) or matching wire (mig) for the aluminum you are welding or the anodizing comes out a different color between the welds and the material. I went to the supplier and got "remnants" for my project. I believe it was all 6061 aluminum. I will find out after anodizing. I believe some pieces were aircraft grade.
