For me it used to be very cheap. Local company would do cash jobs, very nice too. Recently got caught with the new "minimum price -- lets just do the paper work" Ouch. Take a look in your yellow pages, wander in and see if they'll fit you in for a few notes.

Get it done by hard anodising. The more common anodising will rub off fairly quickly.

Can you let us know if you find anywhere local to you? I need something done and I'm not a million miles from Biggleswade.

Thanks

With anodising you must remember that the finish on the part to be anodisied wil show through the colour, so the prep is very important.

Adam,

I've used a company called Protech Finishing Ltd in Northampton, Tel: 01604 792163. You want to speak to Andy Adams. They do work for the F1 industry and really know their onions. They'll strip any old anodising and redo in colour/finish of your choice, very reasonable and very fast turn-around (from memory, less than a week including posting both ways).

Cheers, Neil
