by "wheels" do you mean 'rims' only?
-
Can you colour match, I know it will not be perfect, but if I was to send a stem to be annoed and a already annodised grip collar can you get a close match? Also like an idea on turnaround time as it's for my race bike.
Gary
-
hello gary
What colour are you wanting to match? We will try our best to match most colours so if you let me know which colour or send me a pic of the colour i can give you a better answer. As for turnaround 5-10 days hopefully again it depends on the colour as we have to warm certain dyes up and its not really cost-effective to warm a dye up for a few pieces so we normally wait till more come in.
Cheers
Paul

i have some stuff needing doing.., where are you based?
-
Hey Custom, Barnoldswick? You must do Hopes anodising surely? If so, great work mate.
-
Not seen any Shimano DX's done yet and i thought that would be the to pof the list
-
some excellent quality anodising and polishing.
:4_17_5:
-
DX were painted. I think it's something to do with the studs.
-
steel pins and the steel bearing cups stop them being able to be anodised.
-
:angel:
might be a daft question were they steel or alum before polishing?

welcome back mate
I can fully recomend the work done by custom colour
my stuff has always been spot on and great prices
and to find an anodiser who understands that this stuff is precious to us idiots and acts acordingly
Rich

Dumb question guys, but if I have a set of rims polished shiny shiny mirrory ;D to preserve them like that can they then be "clear" anodised? otherwise in time they'll oxidise and go dull surely?
Sorry if this is dredged up again..I'm sure I read about this before but cant locate topic.
For example - Bought a Mongoose Californian from a guy on Burnerworld about year & a half ago which has Pro Class wheels on. The bike was originally restored by Jezza with lovely shiny rims. It's been a show bike ever since but the shinyness has gone...well....dull. No exposure to the elements and in less than 2years this has happened.
-
are you able to do larger items, i.e. the outer rim from a car's split rims?

Yeh sure we can do split rims, at the moment im polishing some merc wheels and possibly looking at selling them or i might put them on my golf emmmmm. post some pics later
We will polish anything.

Paul & Mark at CCA have just done my Araya's. I've just had a set stripped, polished & re-anodised in silver. The finish is so good that it is almost as shiny as chrome. Araya stamps were preserved and not polished out. They also anodised a bare aluminium power disc black, with excellent results. Good prices too! CCA come highly recommended.
Thanks. Take a look at the pic below

Hi, I was wondering if you had samples of the 'old school' anno colours and keep the new anno to these colours?
I only ask as some items from other places are so out on colour difference it makes your build look pants :(
If you can keep the blue to the shade of the original blue, then I will be sending some items to you :LolLolLolLol:
I have an item of 'old school' blue I could send along with the other items for you to have a shade reference if that helps :daumenhoch:
LMK please fella, look forward to hearing from you :daumenhoch:
