can anodising be removed then? i got some tech 77 levers that are painted sky blue but look anodised black underneath, i was going to spray them black but if i could polish then that be better. nice work sorry to hijack your thread!!

Please don't strip a NOS Power Disc.   :'(

Maybe someone would trade you a polished one + some cash your way?  Got to be worth a try before you throw it into some caustic soda.   :(

Anodising is easily removed, you have 3 options....

1) Be a pussy and use Oven Pride oven cleaner.
2) Be manly and use Caustic Soda with cold water.
3) Be the manliest man ever and use Caustic Soda with hot water  ;D


Actually don't use option 3, it is nuts.

In my opinion you are not an oldschool collector until you have had a lungful of hot caustic soda fumes.  Certainly better than Vicks to clear the sinuses.  :LolLolLolLol:
