I have decided to cover some holes in my center console with an aluminum sheet but can't find anything thick enough at local hardware stores. All we have is very thin floppy stuff.
So for example, I am looking at this website and they have a 5000 series and a 6000, and I've read that you need these high numbers for marine uses. So which is better and what will I need to keep it from corroding? I read some info on needing to coat epoxy coat them, but it seems like I should be able to get an alloy that can handle the environment as is?

Does anyone have advice on what to proceed with?
