    Re-anodizing Rims

    Where can you get rims re-anodized gold?
    Mine are stone chipped and marked up pretty bad, is there a place that can get all the little chips and dings out of them?

    Check with your local plating shop. If they cannot do it, they'll be able to put you in touch with someone closeby.

    I had my anodizing done in PA. Nice job they did but 1 didn't come out so well because the metal was not preped as good as it should have been. It was my fault. Get this I sent it back and they stripped and anodized it again for free. You got my business! Oh i forgot to mention I did the resovours on a couple of Fox shocks in red.
    3 CR500R's and counting. Do I really need 4???

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

    you can get anodized paint at autozone but if you want it to look good you have to buff the rims.

    To properly anodize you must polish the aluminum first, or else you will see the grain of the metal. If your wheels are already anodized, then you should not have this problem. Any chips/scratches will have to be sanded out then the metal in those areas will have to be repolished to get the same finish throughout.
