Why on earth would you want it to be shiny? Seems like it would be more
of any eyesore to any neighbors that way. It certainly doesn't make any
difference electrically.

Is there anything that will keep an antenna shiny and bright, besides

I have often heard clear Krylon mentioned, but from my experience, it
is very short lived. Three coats, allowed to dry between coats only
lasted a few months if that.
Around here (central MI) the shiny Al turns to a dull finish in a
month or two.
Alodyne does last and looks good, if you like a shiny gold color and
have both time and ambition. I have used Alodyne on aircraft elevator
hinges. It's a very labor intensive (tedious) process. The antenna
would certainly stand out.
