CHRANcrEmenc

Technically you are correct no rust and not a big deal, but it does create an oxidized layer.
SomeGuyWithADog
This is why it pays to talk out of your ass. I did and I was technically correct. As technical consultant, technically is good enough.
CHRANcrEmenc
Yeah? It's doing something though!? ( or is that the paint? Thanks!
SomeGuyWithADog
Try a bit of Coca Cola and some steel wool. If that doesn't do it probably going to have to sand it out.

It will certainly corrude and oxidize if you put mercury on aluminum.
SomeGuyWithADog
If you are riding around mercury you may not want to ride there anymore.
