Question Aluminium anodising

Hi all



I have just spent an hour or so on the telephone trying to find someone who will do some anodising for me.

Have taken some small aluminium brackets and pieces off the Cobra and want them anodised in the blue.



Anyone know of a company that will do this for me, in either Melbourne or Adelaide?

The companies I have spoken with are all geared up for large run anodising and will not do a half dozen brackets and bits.

So I need a company that will do the one off and little jobs..

Thanks

Bernie

Bernie,

I know of a small place in South Brisbane if you're interested.

I've got some small work to be done myself and could easily take yours along.

Peter

Thanks for the offer. I will see what responses/Posts come up from Victoria.



If none, I will throw them in a box and courier them up IPEC.

I don't want to be fing you about if I can find some place down here.

I appreciate your offer to do this. Thanks

Bernie

Question Melbourne or Adelaide options

Les

I would be worried that the Drug Squad, C.I.A or F.B.I will raid my house if I start buying these chemicals.



Then again....

I will anodise a few larger pieces and alternator brackets etc. I am a little nervous about doing it myself, so will send it up there if necessary.

Would prefer a Melbourne or Adelaide company to do the job if there is one.

Cheers

Bernie

Sook!

Damn, I want some-one to anodize their own and then tell me if it was successful.

Cheers

I had their Qld shop do my 4 link bars (red one in attached photo)

Thumbs up

Craig

Thanks for placing those two sites on.



I am also trying for the look you have in the trunk there.

I just emailed the 'HPC' site asking if they do it. So will let you know.

I found four companies in Adelaide that do it, but they only do large quantity repeating work.

For a moment I had one guy convinvced to put my stuff through as his own job for me. But he then went on to say that they don't go/change to blue for ages.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Bernie
