Status: offline 		Anodizing aluminum is time consuming not to mention you need chemicals like battery acid to do it. ALso if the part is already anodized you have to strip the old anodizing off to be able to reanodize it. Anodizing in a nut shell is the hardening of the outter aluminum.

Status: offline 		You can send it to me and I can powder coat it for you it's $60 per color and we'll powder coat as many parts as that color will cover. amounts to about 7 sq feet
