I looked into possibly buying one of the home anodizing  kits.... eazy peazy....

Only thing is I don't want the chemicals involved anywhere near my house, some really nasty stuff to store.

Different maybe if I had a workshop away from the house.

Will do Jay

I'm taking a Dia Compe sample piece along with me to make sure I get the right shade as I dont' want any dark gold or orange parts. Hopefully, they can get a good result

I'll keep you posted  :daumenhoch:

You're right Diesel, those acids aren't very house friendly and there are strict government regulations for disposing of it too

Is it star ano ?, if so i have used them and they did my wheels proud so highly recomended

they can match any gold , but run only specific dyes at any one time , i did my arayas black and they were spot on , and the finnish will depend on the prep you put on the alloy.
