Looks good! Is that aluminum or is it regular sheet metal?

I used sheet metal (the kind that has a oily film on it) to build a bracket in the past, and it got a light sheen of rust after the first washing. Not sure if aluminum will do that or not.

Eventually it will oxidize and get a light white coating on it, I would just paint it black.
