Gday Merv,

I cant see any reason why it cant be done in Alloy. But the following come to mind:

- Alloy dents much easier and might not hold up as well to rocks and kids standing on them.
- If you are using matt black, the paint probably wont be as durable as if paint on steel due to difficulty bonding to alloy.

Otherwise there is no reason why you couldnt save the weight.
