Aluminum finishing/anodizing

**Bill Rose** · #1 11-04-2008, 04:48 AM

I only have a couple of aluminum pieces that go on the door frame of my ElCamino that need attention. I'm looking for suggestions on where to send them for polishing and anodizing.

The Place that did the anodizing for me "Only" does Anodizing.......No polishing or buffing prior to Anodize

Here's some pic's from before and after from the Biscayne Resto..............

quote] After trying to clean the Grill after dis-assembly, as you can see in the first picture......the cleaner I used ate thru the Annodizing and it still didn't get all of the dis-coloration off the grill.....
I sent the upper and lower Grill sections out and had them......Stripped......Bright Dipped......and Re-Annodized......just got them back and re-applied the flat Black paint per factory......they turned out pretty good.....check out the pic's

Ken, did you do any additional prep work to the grille beyond what's shown in the pictures?
