So long as the original aluminum isn't the factory coated Alcoa product utilized today, it is my understanding that the Plasticoat can be stripped and reapplyed just as with the Vintage Coaches. There are several firms that can handle this specialized job, but be forewarned it is a relatively expensive process (the cost for stripping/polishing/Plasticoating my Overlander was more than $5,000 - - representing about $190/lniear foot measured coupler to bumper - - (mine had some damage from a previous owners' polishing attempt so cost cited was about $750 higher to repair that damage). You can find the shop that handled the refinishing/Plasticoating of my coach at:

Good luck with your investigation/research!
