Keep up
We've moved on to re-anodising/re-chroming now
To be honest, I'm struggling to find an anodising company willing to do it. Most of them either don't seem to want the work or just can't be bothered to answer their emails
Anyone know of any more good anodisers to contact?
I'm seriously leaning towards buying a kit and having a go myself now:

How hard can it be?
