Pashley26 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 A good mate of mine can anodize frames now ! He can do a few colors, blue, red and green also he can do them in different finishes aswell. Really shiny stuff and also a dull finish. The only "problem" is that it doesn't come out to great on the welds so they need to be ground down and smoothed (something he will also do in the service)We were thinking about making a bit of money on the side doing it and I wanted to know how much would you guys pay to have frames (or parts) anodized ? He can also make headsets and things, he knocked up an exact remake of a Blackspire headset for a total cost of £14. So back on topic, Who would be interested in getting there frame anodized, and how much would you expect to pay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I may have a few car bits that I might want anodised at some point in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Any colour under the sun i take it?I know he can do red, green and blue. I don't know exactly how the process works to be honest, I was looking to get involved by organizing postage, payment and all that lot. I'll find out more today seeing as theres a bit of interest, I've had a few PMs already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would, but depends on service, reliability and turn around i guess. I'd pay for a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it out and stick it in a container drop some dye in and after a few minutes take it out and boil it to seal it.That's a crude method but just as effective. Can be done in an old sink or bathtub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet and simple He's not going to be around until Monday so I can't get any more details until then. But yeah, I'll try and phone him and find a rough price. Bulk = Cheaper it would seem aswell.
