If anyone is still interested in Aluminum anodizing. This is who did all the aluminum on my 66 SS. His work is phenominal.

Bill, I used Anobrite for re-anodizing) on a recommendation from Haislip and I was very happy with the results. Price was reasonable too.

George,

Do you offer re-anodizing services for aluminum trim or do you just remove the original anodizing and then polish the piece?
