Default annodizing?

today im gona get the aluminum rear hub carriers for my truck. im gona get the blue ones and strip the blue off of them. i am now tring to decide what to do with them then, should i just polish them or should i make them a different color like red or black? does anyone know about annodizing? ive heard of self annodizing kits but im not quite sure how it works and where to get one. dont you have to bake the annodizing with a propane torch? thanks in advanced for any knowledge of annodizing.

hey man! i dont reccomend it. I tried a kit like that my bro in law got and it didnt turn out well for the work. What anodizing does is it dips the aluminum in chemical and the difference chemicals make it different colors. Just polsih it. Everyone has blue! be a little different!

oh really, that sucks. it doesnt sound like im gona be getting the hubs very soon, i decided to get the front mashers for my truck, and the rear set of wheels(i striped my rear rims). i guess it wouldnt look bad plain though cause i have the stainless screw kit.
check you inbox gt-power, it said there was an error but my pm sent succesfully so i dont know what happened.

I have a small anodizing shop. Anodizing involves a few pretty nasty chemicals. It's not hard to do just takes a good bit of time and the right know how. You can do some pretty cool effects with anodizing, splashes, mutli colors, acid wash. It adds a very nice coating that unlike paint won't peal off.

Take care,
