powdercoated
Explanation:
A conventional means of "painting" aluminium products in which the metal is electrostatically charged and exposed to polyester powder which adheres to it, then baked in an oven, where the powder melts to form a glossy continuous coating.

I also suspect it is "sheet" not "foil". Foil is what you wrap your leftovers in before putting them in the fridge. I can't see anyone thermolaqué-ing that, or wanting to.

  -> Were it not aluminium I wd hesitate 4 "powdercoat" but I think it is a safe bet for alu. Otherwise "baked enamel" etc. which I think is a different technique.
