Title: Anodizing ?
Post by: brass monkey! on April 04, 2007, 11:18 AM

Anyone know the cost of Anodizing small BMX Components? :)

With stuff like Hatta Blue and Red Headsets becoming very rare, and expensive, would it be economical to get say 10 standard chrome Hatta Headsets and get the essetial parts anodized?

I'm sure there are a few of you out there that need coloured headsets? A NOS Blue one's go for min £40 now, but you can get a chrome one for £12 ! Surely it could work out a lot cheaper if this is feasible ...

I guess this could be applied to other stuff ?  :-\

comments anyone ::)

You can only anno on alloy

so you couldnt use steel headsets

although anno is cheap , so yes it is a good odea for other alloy stuff

i did my araya 7x in black and they came out nice
