OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Paint and Decals Anodized Electroplating

It's used quite often on bar work in the automotive industry, but has anyone tried this on any restorations or modifications?

They get used with good results on motorcycle restorations I have read about on a few forums, but then you are dealing with more expensive items which can absorb the costs

Hi guys,

Anodising is a process used on Ally only and not on steel.

Cheers,

Relatively straight forward process, but aluminium only. From memory sulfuric acid and a 12 volt charger. The web is full of detailed instructions. I have a heap of anodised parts from a car resto I'm doing. They are pretty old and warn, so my plan is to un-anodise the parts, repair and polish, then anodise again. To un-anodise it's just a matter of hanging the parts in a caustic solution. Get's it back to soft aluminium again. This is where I'm at.
