Title: Anodising
Post by: Zippy on April 22, 2006, 07:39 PM

Anyone on here ever had anything anodised and if so by whom and where are they.

I have some Araya Aeros I'd like anodising a diffferent colour than silver. I've already stripped and polished them.

That looks like some good work there. What sort of prices do they charge.

i didn't notice the 'from this' and thought what a load of crap, they look pink. Then i scrolled down. Looks like they did a good job  :daumenhoch:

All of this plus an extra chainwheel cover cost ~£130 (including postage) however this included the stripping and polishing and most of the expense was in the 8hrs each they spent polishing the rims (apparently the spoke holes are a pain in the arse)

so if youve done yours this i would assume the cost would be greatly reduced. end result was this-
