Aluminum Anodizing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sstock · 11-11-2019, 11:33 AM

Hi all,
I have some aluminum pieces that someone over the years have painted over on my cab and body trim in my 64 GMC custom. These pieces are not re-popped around the side window ,so will need to find a place that can strip and re-anodize and polish these.

Do we have a supporting vendor here that does this, and if not does anyone have a company that they have experience with that they would recommend?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

I would like to see a Vendors List.
There is a vendors marketplace page but no list of vendors - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...play.php?f=195

I know there has to be businesses that do such coatings where there is aerospace stuff going on. It's been years, but I have dealt with places in the Baltimore/Wash,DC area. A fab shop would know or ask a powder coat business. They should know if they know their industry. The places I dealt with also did powder coat. They were industrial coaters of all sorts. I found out about these places asking around. I wonder if a wheel restoration shop would be a good place to ask.

Google metal finishing in your area. We have a couple of places local that do it.

Standard sulfuric acid anodizing is fairly common...Bright anodizing is not as common
Aluminum automotive trim parts were mostly bright anodized thus requiring them to have a polished finish prior to being anodized.

There is now a powder coating that closely resembles chrome plating
That might be an alternative to finding someone who does bright anodizing
