If I wanted to keep it raw looking what do I have to coat it with so there is no rusting or corrosion?
All help is Appreciated |

I'm not sure. Does that mean that I don't have to coat it with anything? Are you going to do a build, or keep it as an 80%? I know a guy who has done some 80% builds for himself and he kept them in the white. They look pretty cool that way if you ask me. I doubt if a lower in the white will rust. On the other hand, the pins might rust (on a complete build) and eventually contaminate the lower. |

Aluminum rusts? No but it does corrode, hence aluminum oxide. As long as you don't mind the somewhat splotchy finish that this entails, it will be a great finish unto itself. A lot of people chose to anodize for a more even (and thicker/more durable) finish, with of course a color of their choosing. You can always do a clear anodizing as well if you like the aluminum color but want a more even appearance. If you choose to do nothing, depending on the alloy, the metal will almost certainly maintain all of it's structural integrity. |
 Just a light spray, wipe off. Also use it for cleaner, lube. Ideal for guns. here |
