Thanks guys for all the good sites and info. I've seen the caswell plating kits before, but really haven't gotten the bug to do it til now. You all are a great inspiration! This thread should be renamed "Anodizing 101" Thanks again! -Andy

Thanks for sharing that info Jeff.
I always wondered how that was done.
Now I know,and I could probably do it myself.

Funny thing is,I had one moron on another forum arguing you couldnt "Strip" Anodizing from a factory piece.
I did it with my front rim, using the lye solution just like that guy said to.
He(the moron) then proceeded to argue with me,that the rim was painted and I just showed a way to strip paint,not anodizing..Whatever... worked for me.HAHA

Very true Mosh. Eastwood sells an anodize stripper as well. Can be done efficently with lye.
